Updates: Walker was Robbed...

Javon Walker's situation is updated by KVVU Fox 5 in Las Vegas.

LAS VEGAS -- NFL wide receiver Javon Walker was the victim of an apparent early morning robbery, according to Metro police.

Walker was found unconscious at about 7:19 a.m. Monday near the intersection of Koval Lane and Winnick Avenue, officers said.

The Oakland Raiders player was taken to Sunrise Medical Center’s Trauma unit, where he was listed in fair condition late Monday afternoon, hospital officials said.

Police said Walker had significant injuries.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Norm Clarke, Walker was seen Saturday night at Tryst at the Wynn spraying the crowd with some of the 15 bottles of Dom Perignon Rose champagne he ordered.

Clarke also said Walker was at Body English at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino until 6:30 a.m. Monday and that his first round of champagne cost him $15,000.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.

So the good news is he's in fair condition, he was throwing around expensive champagne and ran up a fifteen thousand dollar bill at another bar. How do you spend that much money in a bar? I guess it's easy once you've taken a part in 15 bottles of Dom Perignon at the previous bar. With that much alcohol in your system and throwing around that much money, it's easy to see why he became a target.

About his injury:

Treatment may include:

• A consultation with an ophthalmologist (physician who specializes in comprehensive eye care) may be necessary for a complete evaluation of the eye.
  
  
• Some fractures do not have to be treated immediately. Depending on the injury, time may be allowed for the swelling and bruising to go away before the fracture is treated.
  
  
• Usually, the double vision will resolve without treatment in three to four days.
  
  
• Surgery may be indicated for severe fractures, or if there is involvement of the eye. Surgery may be performed immediately, or up to several days after the trauma.

Breaking News: Javon Walker found Unconscious

NFL wide receiver Javon Walker was found unconscious on East Flamingo Road and Koval Lane Monday morning, Metro police said.

The Oakland Raiders player was taken to Sunrise Medical Center’s Trauma unit, where he was listed in fair condition late Monday afternoon, hospital officials said.

Police said Walker had an orbital fracture. They said they are not sure how he received the fracture.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Walker was seen Saturday night at Tryst at the Wynn spraying the crowd with some of the 15 bottles of Dom Perignon Rose champagne he ordered.

As Broncos fans we can't say that we expected this to happen, but even if he is a Raider now. Our best wishes go out to him, hoping that he can still make it to Week 1.

BREAKING NEWS: Broncos Dump Henry

As I was musing on the possibility of Selvin Young breaking 2,000 yards last night. It did not cross my mind that Travis Henry would be cut in a couple of hours.

Here's Shanahan:

"We did not feel his commitment to the Broncos was enough to warrant a spot on this football team," coach Mike Shanahan said in a written statement.

"Although Travis has the ability to be one of the top running backs in the NFL, we have to make decisions that are in the best interests of our organization and its goal of winning a Super Bowl," Shanahan said.

Former Denver Broncos receiver Javon Walker accused Shanahan of forcing players to play while hurt. This may be the reason why Shanahan cut Henry prior to training camp, with Henry sitting out the entire Quarter Back Camp over the last two weeks. It may be for another reason, with the league (as of June 1st) fining teams for player conduct, maybe there's something that we don't know. However, we will assume, given Henry's past.

So where does this leave Denver at running back? Well, pretty much the same as the blog I posted this morning, Selvin Young, Andre Hall, Michael Pittman, Ryan Torain and now Anthony Aldridge (whom will most likely still be a practice squad member for the 2009 season). We are, however, one step closer to my Andre Hall prediction for 2009.
