Drew Brees Has A Ways To Go
4 years agoNew Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (lung, ribs) was designated to return to practice on Wednesday, but head coach Sean Payton said that Brees has "a ways to go" in his recovery from 11 broken ribs and a punctured lung. "He's got a ways to go still, and he's someone we're not gonna just hurry back and just put him in the game," Payton said. Brees felt good in practice on Wednesday, but it sounds unlikely that they'll rush him back to play in Week 15 against the Chiefs. Don't expect to have the future Hall of Fame quarterback for your fantasy lineups this weekend. It'll likely be Taysom Hill again under center. He's gone 3-1 in place of Brees and will remain a low-end QB1 for fantasy managers because of his rushing ability, mainly.
