The Facts:
A clearly frustrated Shockey said in the locker room after his first game back from hernia surgery that he felt “60 percent worse” than before the game, and questioned how the Saints have handled the injury. “It’s embarrassing because I have a reputation I want to uphold,” Shockey said. “I play hard. It’s hard when you do it on one leg.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Shockey, who had surgery on Sept. 23, started the game as usual but the groin appeared to begin bothering him after the first snap. ... It's worth noting the Saints were targeting today's game as the day on which Shockey might be able to return. He started practicing on a limited basis last week, but sat out last Sunday's win over Oakland. He sounded eager to play earlier this week. "Good to go," Shockey told the New Orleans Times-Picayune after Thursday's practice. ... It'll be interesting to see if Shockey maintains his stance once the frustration of the loss wears off.
