WALKER FOUND UNCONSCIOUS
KVVU Las Vegas, a Fox5 News channel, is reporting that Oakland Raiders WR Javon Walker was apparently a victim of a robbery and was found unconscious at about 7:19 a.m. Monday near the intersection of Koval Lane and Winnick Avenue, officers said. Walker, who police say sustained an orbital fracture, was taken to Sunrise Medical Center's Trauma unit and is listed in fair condition, according to hospital officials. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Walker was seen Saturday night at Tryst at the Wynn spraying the crowd with some of the 15 bottles of Dom Perignon Rose champagne he ordered. The RJ also said Walker was at Body English at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino until 6:30 a.m. Monday and that his first round of champagne cost him $15,000.

BRANDON MARSHALL UPDATE
Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall is ahead of schedule on his conditioning workouts. He even caught a few soft tosses with both hands this week, a sign of progress. Physically and mentally, Marshall said he is set to return from a severe right arm injury in which he lacerated an artery, vein, nerve, two tendons and three muscles. His three-month recovery time will be up June 22nd, when he can start catching live passes and working out to get ready for training camp, which starts July 25th.

TEXANS INK COLVIN
Free-agent linebacker Rosevelt Colvin has agreed to terms with the Houston Texans. Colvin, who played for the New England Patriots for five seasons in which he won two Super Bowls, visited the Texans earlier this month and passed a physical. He was hampered last season with a foot injury, playing 11 games with four sacks, before his release.

LIONS MOVE CAMPBELL TO LINEBACKER
There are a couple of reasons why the Detroit Lions switched Caleb Campbell, a seventh-round pick out of Army, from safety to outside linebacker. The first is that Campbell has the size (6-2 and 230 pounds) to be an effective linebacker and the second is that the Lions currently have a logjam at safety and Campbell has a better shot of making the 53-man roster at linebacker. Campbell is probably a better fit at linebacker at this level because he has experience moving up to support the run.

ROLLE MAKES SMOOTH TRANSITION
Dennis Dillon, of SportingNews.com, reports Arizona Cardinals CB Antrel Rolle appears to be making a smooth transition from cornerback to free safety during the team's offseason workouts. Rolle has been practicing with the first-team defense and coaches have praised his work ethic.

LEFTWICH NOT A FIT
Bucky Brooks, of SI.com, reports free-agent QB Byron Leftwich's (Falcons) questionable mechanics and injury history have overshadowed any contributions he has made as a quarterback and could explain why he has not been signed by a National Football League team, according to a league scout. "It's a quick game and his mechanics are all screwed up," said an AFC scout. "His long windup limits his ability to function in a quick, rhythm offense and his lack of mobility make him a sitting duck in the pocket. It would be hard for him to fit into most offenses."
