Sean Payton: Shockey Did Not Suffer Siezure

New Orleans tight end Jeremy Shockey was hospitalized a week ago after experiencing “siezure-like symptoms”, but head coach Sean Payton says that his player was only dehydrated and was experience low blood sugar levels. Shockey played a crucial part in the Saints Super Bowl XLIV victory, catching a fourth quarter touchdown pass. The former New York Giant was cleared to practice on Thursday, but was held out of practice over precautionary back problems Shockey was experiencing. Shockey has been listed day-to-day. With 58 receptions and three touchdowns in 2009, Shockey looks to build on that success. The once-troubled star has fit in well in Sean Payton’s offense despite sharing his time with tight end David Thomas. The Saints open their season against the Minnesota Vikings on September 9th, 2010.
