New Orleans Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey is "doing fine" and recovering at Ochsner from what doctors diagnosed as a seizure, according to teammate Darren Sharper.

_________________________Reported earlier

Jeremy Shockey was taken to the hospital on Thursday after suffering seizure-like symptoms in the weight room, according to the local ABC television affiliate in New Orleans.
The Saints have not confirmed the story and Shockey reportedly walked to an ambulance under his own power. We won't speculate without getting more details. Shockey was taken to the hospital a year ago because he was suffering from dehydration.

New Orleans Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey was rushed to a local hospital earlier today after an incident at the team's practice facility, TMZ has confirmed.

According to local reports, Shockey was suffering from "seizure-like symptoms" while inside the team weight room.

A league source told WGNO that Shockey was able to walk to the waiting ambulance without assistance.

Shockey was hospitalized right around this time last year after he was found unconscious at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas. A rep said at the time Shockey was "dehydrated."

UPDATE: The Saints coach has announced that Shockey will stay at the hospital overnight.

Meanwhile, Shockey just tweeted that he is "OK."

Shockey for the score! Who-dat get well and help us destroy the Vikings!

Re: Teammate says New Orleans Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey is 'doing fine' and recovering at hospital
 

For the touchdown we ain't playing " shockey hockey", although I'd bet shockey would be a warrior.

Re: Teammate says New Orleans Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey is 'doing fine' and recovering at hospital
 

Glad to hear he's doing fine. Most importantly though is for the Drs. to figure out his issues and for him to do what is best for his health. I've seen nothing linking the two (so total speculation on my part), but if quitting football activities is part of what is best for his health (I'm hoping that is not the case!!), then we may be really thankfull we drafted Graham.

Like I say, total speculation. Stay strong Shockey. We want you catching passes for us for many more seasons and to come and to have a long healthy retirement as well.
