We finally have an update on Drew Brees’s status this morning:
#Saints QB Drew Brees suffered a rib contusion in yesterday’s game, and he’ll have an MRI for cartilage damage today. But sources tell me and @TomPelissero that New Orleans is bracing for Brees to miss some time to fully heal.

Good news: it doesn’t sound like the rib(s) is/are broken. That would have been confirmed by a simple X-ray. The MRI will be necessary for cartilage assessment, obviously, so until then, we won’t know the severity of what Drew is dealing with.
