Raiders' Walker out of hospital

Published: Wednesday, Jun. 18, 2008

ALAMEDA - Raiders receiver Javon Walker is due back at team headquarters sometime this evening to meet with team doctors after being injured during a robbery Monday morning in Las Vegas.

Raiders coach Lane Kiffin declined to give details of Walker's injuries, which were termed "significant" by Las Vegas police.

"All I can give you is I spoke to him, he's doing well, and he's on a plane," Kiffin said. "He'll be on a plane this evening, back here. He'll be here this evening, and in the morning as well."

Kiffin said the injuries, reported to be a mild concussion and fractured orbital bone shouldn't prevent Walker from participating in training camp. Players report July 25 in Napa.

"The information that I have at this point is he's going to be fine," Kiffin said. "Training camp won't even be an issue."
