News, observations and reader questions about the Oakland Raiders

NAPA - Javon Walker was spotted by reporters but declined discussing whether he wants to retire.

Walker's agent hasn't returned a call asking about the situation.

But back to more from this morning's practice:

*There was a Greg Wesley sighting. He picked off a pass that bounced off the hands of rookie tight end Darrell Strong.

*Marcel Reece said he's not sure what his exact position is. The rookie switched to No. 45, shedding the No. 81 he wore as a receiver.

He's worked with the running backs after playing receiver in college. He's been a fullback and could see time at H-back in the preseason.

"We moved him a little bit around and stuff because he does bring a lot to us and he's a guy that you know may have a future with us because he can do so many things," said coach Lane Kiffin.

WR Chaz Schilens now wears No. 81. Strong went from No. 45 to No. 82

*Sebastian Janikowski made three 38-yard field goals.

*Kiffin said tonight's practice would probably be 30 minutes shorter than normal. Players are off tomorrow.
