Another unfortunate update. It is now reported that Drew Brees is obtaining a second opinion to ascertain the full scope of his injuries. Per ESPN’s Ed Werner, it is possible Brees has more than the five reported rib fractures; the intent of the additional opinion is to see whether the Saints will place Brees on injured reserve. If so, the designation would result in Brees missing at least three games, looking at the December 13 game against the Philadelphia Eagles as his earliest game of return.
