Jeremy Shockey leaves stadium in ambulance

Jeremy Shockey's 500th career catch came with a price.

The Saints tight end scored on a seven-yard run, but had to leave the game after that with what was originally announced as a rib injury.

Shockey left the game and eventually walked under his own power into an ambulance, which took him to a local hospital.  We'll update Shockey's status once we know more.

X-Rays on Shockey's ribs came back negative, Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

The Saints are on bye next week, which gives Shockey and his banged-up teammates some added healing time leading up to the team's next game, Nov. 21 against the Seahawks.
