Saints TE Shockey plans to attend voluntary practice

Tight end Jeremy Shockey had a plan to take part in Saints voluntary workouts, in the aim to turn focus on him back to football. About 2 weeks ago, he was treated at a hospital for dehydration after being found unconscious at a pool party at a Las Vegas resort.

Shockey said he has not participated in voluntary practices in his previous seven NFL seasons and did not attend the first four of the team's voluntary offseason practices. But recently he planned to attend voluntary workouts so as to get better acquainted with quarterback Drew Brees and coach Sean Payton's offense.

"If you're halfway intelligent you can read what everybody wrote," Shockey said. "You know what they say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. That's in the past. I'm looking forward to the future."

"I still haven't been here a year so I can mature a long way and tune up my game," he said. "The most important thing is to know Drew and know what we're trying to get accomplished and knowing each other's game. It's still a new offense for me. I'm going to treat it as a rookie like anyone else in this locker room that just got here."

So hopefully we will see more appearance of Shockey this coming season.
