"Former Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey is "OK" following a frightening incident inside the New Orleans Saints weight room this morning when he was hospitalized after an apparent seizure.

Â

Shockey, 29, was taken to a local hospital by ambulance after suffering "seizure-like symptoms" in front of his stunned teammates, according to several reports. One player told NewOrleans.com that during the "scary" incident, the 6-5, 251-pound tight end was "out of it" for more than a minute.

Â

But a few hours later, Shockey sent word via his Twitter account that he was doing "ok." He added "thanks to everyone who has shown their concern don't worry about me I will be fine.""
