This is why every NFL player who feels he is underpaid should go for the money. Based on his last season he would of been due a signing bonus of 5-7 million if Green Bay did the right thing and locked up one of their players in the prime of his career. Instead Walker does the right thing shows up in camp doesn't say a word just plays. If he is out of the year you think Green Bay is going to do him any favours or do anything for the kid?? That is the difference between classy teams like Pittsburgh and teams like Green Bay who if your not named Farve you are just viewed as commodity and nothing else.
DETROIT (AP) -- 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.
