Shockey out 3 to 6 weeks

This from ESPN.com:

-New Orleans Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey will have sports hernia surgery this week and will miss three to six weeks.

The story was first reported by The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune. The injury had been bothering Shockey for weeks, the newspaper said, but was aggravated in Sunday's 34-32 loss to the Denver Broncos.

Of course this shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. Shock has been pretty banged up the last few years and his questionable health was one of the main reasons the trade didn't sting so much (well, at all). I do feel for the Saints though. They are having some tough luck so far this season.
