New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has a torn plantar fascia in his right foot, a source told ESPN.
Despite the injury, Brees hopes to continue playing in the Saints' final two games, the source said, but the injury to the right foot complicates his ability to throw because he throws off that foot.
According to the source, an MRI taken was sent to Dr. Robert Anderson, the Charlotte specialist who treated Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning for a similar injury.
Anderson has not yet made a recommendation to Brees, who is believed to be considering several different treatment protocols, the source said.
