The 40 year old Saint's QB apparently has torn ligament in right thumb.

Drew Brees looks set to miss some significant game action for the first time
since joining the New Orleans Saints.

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported
Monday morning that Brees is believed to have suffered a ligament issue in the
thumb on his throwing hand, per sources informed of the situation, and is looking
at missing some game time.

Brees visited a specialist in Los Angeles following Sunday's 27-9 loss to the Rams,
and the team is expected to know the full extent of the issue later today.

Depending on the severity of the ligament damage, Brees' timeline could vary
from two to three weeks and return wearing a brace or require surgery on the
thumb that would sideline him deep into the season.

Just goes to show how much random luck has to do with Football!

Saints season is going to be a struggle. The running game was incredible because the passing game keeps defenses from focusing on stopping the run.

Let's see how Teddy B does running Bree's schemes.

Jacoby Brissett did not do all that well running plays designed for Andrew Luck, but this year with plays designed for him he is having some success.

Hope Bridgewater can hold his own (assuming he IS next up).
