Drew Brees Working On The Side At Practice
4 years agoNew Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (lung, ribs) was present at practice on Thursday but didn't participate. Instead, Brees was working off to the side. The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer is progressing well in his rehab, but he's more likely to return in Week 15 in a showdown against the Chiefs. That means that dual-threat QB Taysom Hill will get his fourth straight start under center against a struggling Eagles offense in Week 14. Hill has a solid floor thanks to his rushing ability and is 3-0 with Brees sidelined. Philadelphia's defense has only allowed two rushing touchdowns through 13 weeks, but New Orleans' offense should be able to move the ball pretty consistently in this matchup, making Hill a low-end QB1 on Sunday.
