Shockey Hospitalized After “Seizure”
Former Giants’ All-Pro TE Jeremy Shockey was taken to the hospital yesterday after suffering what doctors are calling a “seizure”. 
Shockey, 29, was in the Saints’ weight room at their headquarters in Metarie, LA when he told teammates he felt ‘light-headed’.
“It was scary,” teammate Darren Sharper said. “We didn’t know what was going on.”
The hulking tight end appears to be OK now, although he remains hospitalized. “I am O.K.,” Shockey said via Twitter. “Thanks to everyone who has shown their concern. Don’t worry about me. I will be fine.”

Ramses Barden is being integrated into offense more and more. He is happy to finally be participating and he knows he has to be more aggressive on special teams if he wants to get on the field more this year.
“Anywhere they feel I can be a threat,” he said. “We did some tackling drills the other day and that dummy didn’t get back up off the ground.”
The Giants’ next OTA is next Wednesday, June 2nd.
