Raiders WR Walker likely out for season

Nov 14, 2008 - 3:21 PM OAKLAND, California (Ticker) -- A disappointing and largely unproductive season may be over for Oakland Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker.

Walker, who signed a $55 million, six-year deal in the offseason, is scheduled to undergo ankle surgery and appears done for the year.

The wide receiver, who has just 15 catches for 196 yards and one touchdown through nine games, told reporters Thursday that his season is over after injuring his left ankle during Oakland's 17-6 loss to Carolina last Sunday.

Walker was not at practice but walked into the Raiders locker room using a pair of crutches and wearing a high protective boot on his left foot.

"I'm done for the season," Walker said. "They've got to put some screws in."

Walker injured himself while making a 14-yard reception in the second quarter against the Panthers. He limped off the field but later returned to make another catch in the second half.
