Jeremy Shockey Out 3-6 Weeks

ToddMacCulloch11 · Sep 22, 2008

Tight end Jeremy Shockey, the New Orleans Saints' second-leading receiver through three games, is expected to be out for three to six weeks because of a sports hernia.

Shockey, who was acquired from the New York Giants in a trade shortly before training camp, had 16 receptions for 151 yards during the Saints' first three regular-season games. He played Sunday in New Orleans' 34-32 loss at Denver, catching eight passes for 75 yards.

On Monday afternoon, Saints spokesman Greg Bensel confirmed a report on The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune's Web site that Shockey was scheduled to have surgery this week.

A sports hernia is the weakening of muscles or tendons in the lower abdominal wall. For Shockey, it's the second serious injury in as many seasons. He broke his left leg last December and missed all of the Giants' postseason run to a Super Bowl championship.
