PrintTurns out his hernia wasn't as serious as it could have been. Here's a LINK to today's practice report. Things are starting to look up!
Payton said he's hopeful that Shockey could be back as early as the Saints' home game against Oakland in two weeks after positive reports from Shockey's hernia surgery earlier this week. The damage to Shockey's ligaments wasn't as extensive as some sports hernias can be, so the recovery time should be in the three-week range.
Payton said Shockey feels more comfortable already and said he is excited to see Shockey when he's no longer limited by the nagging injury.
"Although he played well last week, you guys haven't seen what I know (he's capable of)," Payton said.
