Saints’ Drew Brees Expected to Miss Time

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is expected to miss time due to a rib contusion he suffered on Sunday, according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport.

Brees, who suffered the injury during Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, is scheduled to undergo an MRI to check for cartilage damage.

The Saints are bracing for Brees to miss extended time, which means that they will likely turn to Jameis Winston for their upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons.
