New Orleans tight end Shockey missed practices this week with a sore right knee, but is going to play. So is wideout Robert Meachem, who has been dealing with a sprained right ankle.

Saints CB Malcolm Jenkins is out with a hamstring problem.

Vikings DLs Kevin Williams and Ray Edwards were both questionable with knee injuries, but are active.

The third quarterbacks are Sage Rosenfels for Minnesota and Chase Daniel for New Orleans.

Meanwhile, Brett Favre said that he believes that crowd noise in New Orleans will be a huge factor. He will wear all of the Vikings plays on a wristband for the first time this season.
