Drew Brees Has Successful Practice Wednesday
4 years agoNew Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (lung, ribs), officially returned to practice on Wednesday, and it went well. The Saints have three weeks to place him on the active roster, so they won't rush him, but Wednesday's practice was a great sign for the veteran quarterback. It would be nice to see Brees battle Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in Week 15, but it's likely that the Saints will hold off on bringing the future Hall of Famer back until Week 16 or 17. We'll have a better idea on whether the 41-year-old will actually play this weekend after a few more practices, but he'd be a shaky low-end QB1 if he plays this Sunday. Taysom Hill has gone 3-1 as the starter in Brees' absence, and he'll make for a low-end QB1 for his rushing ability if he starts versus KC.
