Set to start Sunday Brees (ribs) is expected to be activated off injured reserve to start Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Impact The 41-year-old was designated to return from injured reserve earlier this week, and he's apparently thrown well enough at practice to convince the Saints he's ready to go this weekend. Coach Sean Payton said Wednesday the veteran still had "a ways to go" before being activated, but barring a setback during Friday's session, Brees looks poised to take the reins of the offense back from Taysom Hill, who started the past four games.
