Javon Walker found unconscious in Las Vegas

[BigWeiner]

Fox 5 Las Vegas reports that Raiders WR Javon Walker was found unconscious with an "orbital fracture" on Flamingo Boulevard just off the Las Vegas strip early Monday morning.

We caution that no other source has reported the news yet. Police reportedly don't know how he got the fracture, but he was listed in fair condition at an area hospital Monday. The Las Vegas Review Journal spotted Walker Saturday night at the Wynn spraying Dom Perignon Rose champagne he ordered.

Typical Seminole...glass jaw.....

In reading a couple of the newswire articles, they are rather vague but it seems pretty serious. Being a die hard Seminole fan, Walker always seemed like a stand-up guy...and I took an unnecessary cheap shot.

Get well soon Javo....

LAS VEGAS -- Oakland Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker could be released from the hospital Tuesday, a day after he was beaten, robbed and left unconscious on a Las Vegas street after a night of partying, police said.

A large amount of cash and some jewelry were taken from Walker, who suffered "significant injuries," police said.

Police Lt. Clinton Nichols said detectives are retracing Walker's activities in the hours before he was found injured Monday morning on a street off the Las Vegas Strip.

"That's one of the first things we do, backtrack what he did and where he stayed," Nichols said, adding that the investigation was still in the early stages. "We knew there was a large amount of cash taken, and some jewelry."

Nichols said he believed Walker would be released after a 24-hour stay at the hospital. A hospital spokesman said he had no immediate information about Walker's condition.

A Raiders spokesman said the team was in the process of gathering information and had no further comment.

On Monday, police officer Bill Cassell said in a statement that Walker was taken to a hospital with "significant injuries" and was in fair condition at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center.

Walker, 29, signed a six-year, $55 million deal with the Raiders after being released by the Denver Broncos in February.

Walker injured his right knee for the second time in his career last season and was limited to eight games and 26 catches in 2007.

Walker was a first-round draft pick by the Green Bay Packers in 2001 and had a breakout season in 2004 with 89 catches for 1,382 yards and 12 touchdowns.

He tore a ligament in his right knee the next season and played only one game.

He was traded to Denver in 2006 and bounced back with 69 catches for 1,084 yards and eight touchdowns.

C'mon fellas, the main mistake he made was not having an entourage.

Hopefully he recovers fully...but he is wrong on several fronts...not having an entourage or security is one...acting like a fool is another, just cause he has cash doesnt mean he can pour champange on complete strangers...not learning from the incident with Darrent Williams is the most glaring...maybe this incident will help him understand to just keep a low profile and take it easy

Heard on local radio here in Houston...something bout it being Pretty boy Floyd's entourage who did the damage...again it was on the sportstalk dial and could have just been made up...who knows Floyd does stay in Vegas and I know he rolls with an entourage...
