DREW BREES
Brooks: Saints' offense arguably more 'dangerous' with Taysom Hill than Drew Brees NFL Network's Brooks says that the New Orleans Saints' offense is arguably more 'dangerous' with quarterback Taysom Hill than Drew Brees.
Likely giving way to Hill again Brees (ribs) is expected to remain sidelined in Week 14 while Taysom Hill picks up another start, Jeff Duncan of The Athletic reports.
Impact While Brees continues to rehab his injury, Hill has taken the reins and led the Saints to a 3-0 record in that span, making a good case for the organization to consider him as the future franchise quarterback. If this is truly the sentiment among the New Orleans brass, it wouldn't be too shocking to see Brees sidelined even further, especially if Hill can improve to 4-0 in Week 14. Even if Hill had underperformed, it's seemingly unlikely that Brees would be ready physically for a Week 14 return. Though the Saints aren't required to submit an official practice report for an IR player like Brees, it was reported Wednesday that his participation was limited, at best. While a return Week 15 against Kansas City looks like a possibility, it's far from a certainty.

Not ready to ramp up in practice Brees (ribs/lung) isn't expected to practice "much, if at all" Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Rapoport notes that Brees continues to progress well from a punctured lung and 11 fractured ribs, but the signal-caller isn't quite ready to ramp up his activities just yet. Though Brees is eligible to come off injured reserve this week after missing the Saints' previous three games, it's unclear if the Saints will designate him to return, a transaction that would allow the veteran quarterback to practice with the team. At this stage, the Saints' Week 15 game against Kansas City looks to be more realistic for Brees' return to the lineup, so Taysom Hill is tentatively in line to make a fourth straight start Sunday against the Eagles.

Could return Week 14 Brees (ribs) has progressed quicker than expected and could be ready to return from injured reserve ahead of the Saints' Week 14 game in Philadelphia on Dec. 13, Adam Schefter of E...
Impact Brees will miss his third straight game Sunday in Atlanta after suffering 11 fractured ribs and a collapsed lung in a Nov. 15 win over the 49ers, but he took a step forward this week, when he was spotted throwing on the side during practice. The Saints will have to designate Brees to return from IR before he's eligible to take part in practices with the main group, but he appears poised to get on the field in some capacity when the team resumes working out Wednesday. Assuming that's the case, the Saints will likely assess Brees' condition over their three Week 14 practice sessions before deciding whether he's fit to start against Philadelphia, or if Taysom Hill will be under center for another contest.
