Brees Injury Diagnosis MERGED (UPDATE: Drew expected to have surgery on torn ligament - out 6 weeks)

So we'll hear about it when the decision is made as to what he's doing. Just because he's gotten the second opinion doesn't mean he's decided what he's doing. Give the man a minute. It's his livelihood on the line.

I was reading the CBA's provisions for player medical treatment (yeah I know), and I think Drew may have been required to get a "second opinion" or the Club Ortho Surgeons opinion to get the treatment from the non-Saints Ortho surgeon that he saw in southern California. I know it sounds crazy, but this "second opinion" stuff being reported may just be a rubber stamp type requirement of the CBA so Drew can get the new procedure done by the guy in Cali who is known to specialized in it.
