Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey could create matchup problems for the Vikings in the NFC title game Sunday -- if he is able to play.
Shockey did not practice all of this week because of what is listed as a knee injury and was listed as questionable on New Orleans' injury report Friday. Backup cornerback Malcolm Jenkins (hamstring) also is questionable after not practicing all week.
Safety Darren Sharper (knee); wide receiver Robert Meachem (ankle); defensive end Bobby McCray (back); and center Jonathan Goodwin (knee) are all probable and should be able to play.
