The Associated Press reports Javon Walker was robbed of cash and jewelry before he was found unconscious in Las Vegas early Monday morning.
The report added he could be released from the hospital today.
One question is whether Walker was alone in Vegas. Athlete safety became a big topic last year when Walker was with Darrent Williams the night he was murdered in Denver.
Numerous athletes have been robbed and are seen as targets. That's why some, even those the public might not think would need it, keep security with them.
There's no way to be 100 percent safe. Athletes can't stay home all the time (Sean Taylor was shot in his home).
Traveling in public with a group doesn't guarantee someone won't see a chance to snatch a chain worth a few thousand dollars and try to run off with it.
When Lane Kiffin says goodbye to his players at the end of organized team activities he'll remind them to be safe.
Walker's situation will say more than any words from Kiffin.
