Andrus Peat dealing with broken thumb, updated

After initial reports that New Orleans Saints left guard Andrus Peat missed the team’s first padded practice with an undisclosed hand injury, word has gotten out today that “hand injury” is in fact a broken thumb.

#Saints Pro Bowl G Andrus Peat, who is sidelined with what was termed a hand injury, has a broken thumb, source said. His timetable for return is unclear and some of it will depend on if he needs surgery to repair it. But Peat hasn’t been ruled out for the opener.
