News, observations and reader questions about the Oakland Raiders

Here's a copy of the arrest report courtesy of Fox 5 in Las Vegas as it relates to Javon Walker and suspect Arfat Fadel.

Walker suffered a fractured jaw along with a concussion and fractured orbital bone after "being lured" into a car with two men, having something placed around his neck and being robbed and beaten, according to the report.

The report also indicates Walker was an easy target because he was drunk. Walker recalled being in the car, but didn't remember anything else.

There's nothing to support the story on thedirty.com that Walker was forced into a car or beaten in his hotel room.

The Raiders only said Walker would be ready for training camp last week. Players report for camp on July 25.

It can't be easy for any victim of violent crime to return to work. Walker would be returning to the NFL (not exactly a low-profile job).

Not to mention he'll be hit.

But with such injuries to his face, one has to wonder how wise it would be to expose Walker to contact in a month.
