Shockey 'good to go': Saints TE Jeremy Shockey is expected to return for a divisional game Sunday at Carolina. "Good to go," said Shockey, his teeth chattering intermittently after he emerged from an ice bath following Thursday's practice. Shockey had sports hernia surgery on Sept. 23. He started practicing on a limited basis last week, but sat out last Sunday's win over Oakland. "Everything has felt better every day and that's very encouraging," he said. "It's the first time that I can actually sneeze without feeling like I'm getting stabbed, like in a bar." The Saints also waived tight end Sean Ryan, who was New Orleans' third option at that position while Shockey was out last week. Through the first three games of the season, Shockey was the Saints' second-leading receiver with 16 catches for 151 yards.
