UPDATE:

I am assuming it isn't broken. At least it is that, right?

Great ?

Ligament damage would be season ending. That’s the concern, not a break

Seems naive to get an injury treated in a town where your rival plays.

that doesn't sound good.

I could be wrong but I've always been told it's better to break something than tear ligaments.

I feel sick at my stomach sorry for this man. He has done nothing but be amazing and bleed black and gold. Carried this team in low times and played hard every time. I hope this injury hasn’t ended his chance for another ring.

I'm an optimist when it comes to Saints football, but the fact Drew Brees is concerned tells me this is not good.

I'm so scared

 

[SAINTSSUPERBOWLLIII]

He certainly doesn’t sound optimistic

Did you see the stadium, I don’t think they have many fans. ?

He has lived in Southern California for quite a while and I expect he knows some of the top orthopedist there. And there are some very good ones.

Agree but we don't know that yet. I am just taking the news as it come. Assuming things can drive you crazy.

 

[Hey BAY BAY!!!]

Think Brees broke his thumb. We'll see.

Lets hope that its not a Ref that is the specialist
