  Raiders WR Walker a major disappointment thus far


June 27, 2008

Javon Walker

 Ex-Bronco Javon Walker

Javon Walker's night of partying in Las Vegas — which ended with him being beaten, robbed and left in a street with a concussion, multiple facial wounds and a fractured orbital bone, according to some reports — speaks to a larger issue of the wide receiver's immaturity, the way we hear it. Rather than stay home and prepare for the week's session of OTAs, Walker was out drinking and reportedly spraying people with champagne in a club. Sources say the Raiders are taking a wait-and-see approach as Las Vegas law-enforcement officials uncover more details about the June 16 beating and robbery. One arrest had been made in relation to the incident, and another suspect was being sought at the time of this writing. The extent of the impact from his injuries is not yet known, but the team says it expects Walker to be ready for training camp. The Raiders were counting on Walker to bring some much-needed experience to their receiving corps when they signed him to a six-year, $55 million contract in the winter. Walker, who had been limited to just one practice per day during OTAs because of a bad knee, already was behind schedule in establishing a rapport with QB JaMarcus Russell, and this is yet another setback, which doesn't bode well for Walker's future.
