Javon Walker will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery Friday and be out for "a few weeks," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan announced Thursday.
This is a crushing blow to Denver's offense and the cause of Jay Cutler. Brandon Stokley moves into Walker's starting split end spot, with practice squader Glenn Martinez sliding into the third receiver role. While Walker is much younger than Terry Glenn, we've seen that players with knee troubles (and wideouts in particular) struggle to return after multiple surgeries on the same knee. This is the same right knee Walker had reconstructed in 2005.
