Jeremy Shockey
After missing the vast majority of practice all week, New Orleans Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey is expected to play in Sunday’s NFC Championship game against the Minnesota Vikings.
A knee injury kept him on the sidelines until Saturday’s walk-through, but Lesley Visser of CBS Sports reports that he should be good to go.
Shockey has been a big factor in the Saints’ passing attack all season including last week against the Dallas Cowboys where he caught three passes for 36 yards including a touchdown.
He is the team’s fourth leading receiver.
