CARSON, Calif. -- After playing his first football of the 2018 season, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees looked a little disappointed during his post-game press conference.
It was not necessarily because both he and the offense he directed stumbled out of the gates, with an interception and a three-and-out in the first two offensive series -- though he clearly was not happy with that start.
It went beyond that, though. Brees knows it is smart and healthy for him at this stage of the season and his career to only get a taste of game action.
