Newz Forum: FOOTBALL: Shockey misses training

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Tight end Jeremy Shockey may miss the final week of the New York Giants offseason program because of a foot problem.

Shockey missed his second straight day of minicamp Thursday, and coach Tom Couglin said the two-time Pro Bowler would not return until the soreness that has been bothering him is gone.

The Giants finish their offseason training next week.

Shockey has been bothered by foot and toe problems since his rookie season in 2002. He missed the final seven games of last season with a knee injury.

Doctors said Shockey's current problem was caused by aggravating a foot injury from last season, the Giants said.

Oh, I feel so bad for Shockey

The greatest TE in football? And he can't even stay healthy?

Sorry Shockey, but you have to play football to be considered the best.

I do feel bad that he is hurt, it sucks, its so much better when the good players are able to play. And yes he is good, but he needs to keep his trap shut and prove how good he is on the field.

sure he has something like 122 catches and how many yards but he only has 4 TD"S!!!. he needs to step up int he red zone in order to be consdier the best.

There are many younger te's that are better than shockey and right now shockey is injuried badly and needs to get his knee and ankle in shape.

Plus how many td's have succeed under couglin?
