Walker has surprise knee surgery
Quote:
David White of the San Francisco Chronicle reports Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker had knee surgery sometime last month. A few days ago, he finally let team officials in on the secret.
That explains why Walker is not practicing at the team's mandatory minicamp, which started Friday with two-a-days. He won't be ready to go until training camp, Raiders coach Tom Cable said.
"We just found out about it," Cable said. "Yeah, it is a little bit uncommon but we're aware of it now and it was probably the right thing to do and get it cleaned up."
It's the same right knee that he had surgically repaired in 2007 with the Broncos. He had season-ending surgery on his left ankle midway through last season, but that injury is healed, according to Cable.
The bigger concern is the lack of communication from a player who has stayed away from Oakland throughout the voluntary workout program this off season.
