Denver Broncos wide receiver Javon Walker will be going under the knife once again for his right knee. The one he tore up in the 2005 opener for Green Bay that caused him to miss the entire season.

Walker will have an operation Friday in Houston and will be sidelined for a few weeks.

"Doctors don't think it's very serious, but serious enough to go in there and clean it out because he's been off of it for a few weeks and it hasn't gotten much better," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said.

The Broncos don't have a precise timetable for Walker's return.
