New Orleans Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey will be participating in this weekend’s minicamp, according to General Manager Mickey Loomis.
It’s not clear if Shockey will be limited at all after he suffered an apparent seizure in the team’s weight room following a practice last Thursday. Neither the Saints nor Shockey or his representatives have offered many details about his diagnosis or any future concerns.
Shockey stayed overnight in the hospital for some tests and observation last Thursday night, but he was apparently in good condition and insisted via his twitter account that he’ll be fine.
Teammate Darren Sharper, who visited Shockey in the hospital, said the doctor described Shockey’s episode as a seizure. But Shockey later tweeted that it “wasn’t a seizure!!! But a hell of a scare!!”
Shockey’s health will obviously be a much-discussed topic on the first day of minicamp Friday.
