"That's one of the first things we do, backtrack what he did and where he stayed," Nichols said, adding that the investigation was still in the early stages.
According to reports yesterday in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Walker visited a nightclub, Tryst, at the Wynn Las Vegas resort Saturday night. He spent Sunday night at another club, Body English at the Hard Rock hotel-casino, before leaving about 3:30 a.m. Monday, according to a casino spokesperson.
Nichols said detectives spoke briefly with Walker Monday and planned a second interview last night at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center.
Owens not on hand
Terrell Owens wasn't on the field for the start of the Cowboys' mandatory offseason minicamp, and the Pro Bowl receiver isn't expected to be around the rest of the week. Coach
Wade Phillips said Owens was excused from the three-day minicamp to attend to a personal family matter out of town. "He didn't want to go into it, and I really don't want to either," Phillips said. "It's a family matter and just leave it at that. It's not anything more than that." Owens was at the Valley Ranch facility yesterday morning but then left before the first of the team's two practice sessions to catch a flight. Phillips said Owens talked to him Monday, but he wouldn't elaborate on that conversation or where Owens was going.
Glenn wants release

Glenn said he wants to be released if he continues to be barred from preparing for the season in an attempt to force him to sign the waiver . . . ESPN.com, citing a source close to the Bengals'
Chad Johnson, said the controversial wide receiver is scheduled today to have arthroscopic surgery on bone spurs in both ankles that he's needed since last season. Johnson told the team Thursday he couldn't practice because of the injury; the team said he was refusing to practice. Johnson is expected to be ready for training camp.
