Oakland Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker says he is quickly recovering from a concussion and facial injuries after a Las Vegas robbery.
Walker was released from a hospital, but did not say where his recovery was continuing.
His agent released a statement Wednesday in which the 29-year-old Walker said he's in a private environment and that he wants to thank those who have offered prayers and support.
Walker was found unconscious early Monday on a street near the Las Vegas Strip after a night of partying during which he was photographed spraying a nightclub crowd with champagne.
Las Vegas police say he was robbed of a large amount of cash and some jewelry.
