Can't just say that, need a link man.

I'm reading that he is getting an MRI on Monday....

you have a link yet...cause that is like 1/4 of their offense which isn't much looking at the 17 to 3 detriot win today...

Yeah, I don't even think they can do an MRI yet. I think the swelling needs to go down some first, but could be wrong.

Hey all,
I got this off the wire (AP) at my job:

BC-FBN--Packers-Walker Injured, 1st Ld-Writethru,0270
Green Bay’s Walker injures knee
Eds: UPDATES with detail, comment.
DETROIT � Green Bay receiver Javon Walker injured his right knee in the third quarter against Detroit and did not return Sunday.
“It was his ACL,� Packers coach Mike Sherman said after the Lions won 17-3.
Sherman said the team will not know how serious the injury is until Walker has an MRI on Monday.
Walker was hurt when he caught a 55-yard pass � negated by a pass-interference call on him � and was tackled by safety Terrence Holt.
As Walker lay on the turf, he grabbed his right knee. After trainers attended to him for a few minutes, he gingerly walked toward the bench. He was later taken to the locker room on a cart, once shaking his head from side to side.
Walker, Green Bay’s top receiver, had four receptions for 27 yards against Detroit. He extended his streak with a catch to 38 games, including playoffs.
After threatening to hold out of training camp for a new contract, Walker reported. He said the best way to prove his worth wasn’t to withhold his services, but to put his talents back on display.
He’s due $515,000 this season, the fourth of a five-year deal he signed in 2002 for $7.485 million. The Packers refused his agent’s overtures for a hefty pay raise or to shop him around.
Walker was Green Bay’s MVP last season and earned his first trip to the Pro Bowl. In his third season, he led the team with 89 receptions for 1,382 yards and 12 touchdown receptions, all career highs.
