New Orleans Saints designate quarterback Drew Brees for return to practice Brees has missed four straight games with rib injuries
DECEMBER 16, 2020 • NEWORLEANSSAINTS.COM
Designated to return The Saints have designated Brees (ribs) to return from injured reserve, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Impact During Monday's throwing session, Brees experienced pain and didn't have his full range of motion. Slated for another such session Wednesday, he must have done well enough for the Saints to open his 21-day window to practice with the aim to be activated from IR. While there's a chance the Saints will make such a move as early as this weekend, coach Sean Payton pumped the brakes on those thoughts. "We haven't ruled anything just because we don't have to," Payton told Mike Triplett of ESPN.com. "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." If Brees is unable to go Sunday against the Chiefs, Taysom Hill again will be under center for the Saints.

Set to throw Wednesday Brees (ribs) is expected to throw a football early Wednesday before the Saints determine whether he's fit to join the team for practice later in the day, Ian Rapoport of NFL Networ...
Impact The Saints initially targeted the Week 15 matchup with the Chiefs for Brees' return from the lineup after the quarterback suffered a punctured lung and 11 rib fractures in a Nov. 15 game against the 49ers, but to this point, the 41-year-old hasn't progressed as quickly in his recovery as hoped. According to Rapoport, Brees experienced pain and lacked full range of motion during his most recent throwing session Monday, so he'll likely need to show improvement in both areas Wednesday before his integration into practice is seriously considered. If Brees isn't designated to return from injured reserve later Wednesday, it would be a strong early sign that the Saints aren't counting on him playing this weekend versus Kansas City, which would clear the way for Taysom Hill to make a fifth straight start.

Not ready to return There's still no timetable for the return to action of Brees (ribs/lung), Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Per the report, the Saints aren't in a rush to put Brees -- who's bouncing back from 11 fractured ribs and a punctured lung -- back on the field and into their starting lineup. In his continued absence, Taysom Hill will handle the team's QB duties Sunday against the Eagles and quite possibly next weekend against Kansas City.
