X-Rays On Ribs Negative For Saints TE Jeremy Shockey

When Jeremy Shockey caught a 7-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter of the New Orleans Saints' 34-3 win over the Carolina Panthers, it was his 500th career reception. That made him the eighth tight end in NFL history to reach the plateau. On that catch, however, he took a shot to the back that forced him to leave the game and was taken to a local hospital for examination of what was reportedly a rib injury. Shockey was in the locker room after the game but declined comment. Coach Sean Payton said X-rays taken at Bank of America Stadium were negative and Shockey's hospital visit was precautionary.
