DMD Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Breaking the bones around the eye take a long time to heal I think. This is NOT a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Beatings Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Has this offseason had more player issues than usual? I've lost track, but it seems like every other week its something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROYALWITCHEESE Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Shouldn't hamper him that much. Training camp is weeks away, and these injuries heal pretty well. But it begs the question: Does trouble seem to follow certain people, or do certain people always put them selves in the position of getting in trouble?

Square Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 "orbital fracture" Sorry if this is a stupid question, but isn't that the worst kind? Maybe I'm thinking of a spiral fracture but something where the force goes around the bone and causes all kinds of cracks and problems is what I'm thinking of. Either way its not good news for health or character at the min. I'm still pretty wary of owning any raiders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

policyvote Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I forgot he's a Raider now. Dude, my first thought was Bill Romanowski. Didn't he end that one scrub's career by inflicting this same injury on him? Peace policy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Dude, my first thought was Bill Romanowski. Didn't he end that one scrub's career by inflicting this same injury on him? Peace policy Yeah but I think that involved several broken bones. From Raiders blog. A Raiders spokesman said “We are in the process of gathering information,” regarding the status of wide receiver Javon Walker, who was reportedly found unconconscious in Las Vegas with an orbital fracture Monday morning. Walker, according to Fox affiliate KVVU-5, was listed in fair condition. The Las Vegas-Review Journal reported Walker was spotted at the nightspot “Tryst” at the Wynn “spraying the crowd with some of the 15 bottles of Dom Perignone Rose champagne he ordered.” Walker signed a free agent contract with $16 million in guaranteed money in the offseason but was still rounding into shape following knee surgery. Coach Lane Kiffin said he wanted Walker to lose weight before the Raiders went to training camp in Napa. A report filed with the the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department identified Walker as the “victim of an early morning crime.” The statement read as follows: “The victim of an early morning crime near the intersection of Winnick Avenue and Koval lane has been identified as Javon Walker. Officers responded to a report of a man down at that location at approximinately 7:19 a.m. this morning. When officers arrived they found an unconscious male, who appears to have been the victim of a robbery. The victim was transported an an area hospital with siginficant injuries. Late htis afternoon detectives were able to positively identify the victim as Walker. “Walker remains hospitalized at this time and this investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information concinering this event is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie Miller broke his once and played in the play-offs wearing Oakley sunglasses. As if that would help. I guess it'll all depend how bad it is.

TDFFFreak Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) Bah! I want him to stay healthy and seem ready to go and let some other sucker take him come draft day.
