May be out until Week 15 Brees, who's dealing with 11 confirmed rib fractures as well as a punctured lung and a shoulder issue, is facing a "realistic return date" of Week 15, according to Ian Rapoport of...
Impact Per the report, the Saints' goal is to give the quarterback enough time to fully heal up from all of his injuries, and a Week 15 return would still allow Brees to get in a couple of tune-up outings before a potential playoff run. However long Brees is out, Taysom Hill -- who is expected to start Sunday against the Falcons -- and Jameis Winston will handle the team's quarterback duties.

Eleven rib fractures confirmed Brees underwent X-rays and CAT scans this week that revealed 11 confirmed rib fractures, Ed Werder of ESPN reports.
Impact The 41-year-old's initial diagnosis at the start of the week showed five fractures and a collapsed lung, but the damage to his ribcage is apparently more extensive than initially reported. Per Werder, he's still progressing well in his recovery, especially in regard to lung function. Brees was placed on injured reserve and will be sidelined for at least the next three games, though Werder also reports the veteran quarterback expects to return when first eligible Week 14. Taysom Hill is starting under center for the Saints against the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact Brees is expected to miss at least two games while he recovers from multiple rib fractures and a collapsed lung. What the Saints have to decide before Sunday is whether he has any shot to return for Week 13 against the Falcons (Dec. 6). If not, the team will place Brees on injured reserve and officially rule him out for the next three games. The Saints haven't announced their fill-in starter at quarterback, but multiple reports suggest it will be Taysom Hill getting the nod this Sunday against Atlanta, while Jamies Winston is expected to be the backup.
