Shockey spent Tuesday in Birmingham

Saints coach Sean Payton is known for protecting his injury information closely.  His players don't always take the same approach.

On Jeremy Shockey's Twitter page Tuesday, the hobbled tight end revealed an interesting piece of information.

"Damn just got back from b'ham," Shockey wrote, referring to Birmingham, Alabama.  "i missed our team diner... Gnight everyone."

Shockey doesn't say what he did during his "long ass day" but Birmingham is the location of Dr. James Andrews' office.  Shockey been slowed in the playoffs by a knee injury.

"I felt like a pogo stick out there on one leg, but I have no doubt in my mind it'll be a lot better in two weeks," Shockey said Monday. "It's probably a three- or four-week injury, but there was no way I was going miss that game. There's no way I'm going to miss the next one, either."

No matter what was found regarding Shockey's knee Tuesday, it would be a shock if he spent another Super Bowl in a luxury box.
