Javon Walker Will Debut Sunday Against Chiefs

Shapecity · Sep 13, 2008

Javon Walker's right hamstring still isn't quite right, but it has healed enough for the wide receiver to make his Raiders debut Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.

"He looks good," Raiders Coach Lane Kiffin said. "There's still something there a little bit. I don't know that I would say he has the best burst that he's had since he's been here, but he looks like he's ready to play."

Walker missed Oakland's season opener Monday night against Denver, his former team. It hurt missing out on a shot at the Broncos, Walker said, but it was the right thing to do.

"That shows a tremendous amount of respect," Walker said, "and they're looking out for my best interests. I appreciate their wanting to make sure my body is ready to go."

Kiffin said he isn't sure if Walker will start opposite Ronald Curry. If he does not, Ashley Lelie would get the nod over first-game starter Johnnie Lee Higgins.
