The Saints designated Drew Brees to the team’s injured reserve list on Friday, following further evaluations on his damaged ribs and throwing shoulder.
Brees exited last week’s game with the 49ers and was not a participant in practice this week. The good news is that he underwent several X-ray and MRI exams and has an idea of his recovery timetable.
Reports have said that the Saints are optimistic Brees could be sidelined just two or three weeks, but their decision to place him on the injured reserve list on Friday will keep him off the field for at least three weeks.
In the meantime, reports say they will be turning to backup quarterback Taysom Hill over Jameis Winston, at least for Sunday’s game with the Falcons
