Report: Vikings to sign Javon Walker
Posted by: Chip Scoggins under Vikings, Packers, Brad Childress, Darrell Bevell, Vikings players, Brad Childress, Brett Favre, Darrell Bevell, Percy Harvin, Sidney Rice Updated: August 23, 2010 - 1:28 PM
The Vikings will move to add some depth to their wide receiver corps by signing former Packers receiver Javon Walker today, ESPN is reporting according to sources.
Here is the report by Adam Schefter. We have confirmed Schefter's report, per league sources.
The Vikings worked out Walker on Friday. The Vikings have depth issues at wide receiver with Sidney Rice still on the physically unable to perform list and Percy Harvin suffering from migraines. Rice said last week that it’s “up in the air” whether he will be ready by the season opener Sept. 9. Rice said he still feels pain in his injured hip.
The question becomes, how much does Walker have left in the tank? He played most recently for Oakland and really hasn't done much since the 2006 season.
