Drew Brees on Terron Armstead's injury: 'That's a big blow. I'm not going to lie'

Drew Brees didn't mince words when discussing the potential season-ending shoulder injury sustained a couple of weeks ago by New Orleans Saints left tackle Terron Armstead.

"Listen, that's a big blow. I'm not going to lie," Brees told NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune on Tuesday.

Armstead tore the labrum in his shoulder during minicamp and will miss 4-6 months. The earliest prognosis would have an Armstead return in October, while the latter would put the left tackle back in December.

The fourth-year tackle has been hampered by injuries since 2015 with knee, hip and quad issues.
