Interesting info on the surgery that was performed on Drew Brees

Agree with the bolded. The info in that article suggests that with Brees' return pegged at Week 10, he could have as many as three weeks of therapy/practice time to get used to his thumb again. In other words, even when it is healed, it might not feel quite the same, and Brees will have to kind of develop a feel for the football, for touch and accuracy, all over again. The more time for that process to play out, the better.

I agree that until his touch and accuracy returns, he should just keep practicing. But I believe with all my heart that when the doctors conclude that there would be little to no chance of re-injury in the course of normal play, then when he reaches the level of control with the football that can have him effective in the pocket, then he needs to be back out there no matter what week it is.

Trust me... at that point Drew will already be campaigning to get back in there! :9:
