Raiders Guard Has Emergency Surgery For Hemorrahage
27th October, 2005 - 5:44 am
AP - Oakland Raiders starting left guard Langston Walker had emergency surgery to repair a hemorrhage in his stomach.

Walker complained of pain in his abdominal area Tuesday, then the team's training staff quickly got him to a doctor. The 6-foot-8, 345-pound lineman had an arthroscopic procedure later in the day and is expected to be sidelined a minimum of six weeks.

``From what I understand, it could be considerably longer,'' coach Norv Turner said after practice Wednesday. ``It's a serious deal. He is OK. That's the No. 1 concern. It's just unfortunate for our football team. But he's very fortunate that he's all right and that they found it when they did so that it didn't become major.'' [READ]
