After the Saints’ 27–9 loss to the Rams, Drew Brees stayed back in Los Angeles to see a specialist for the hand injury he suffered late in the game’s first half. Sometime on Monday, we figure to have a prognosis—not just on Brees’s hand, but also on his team’s 2019 fate.

Teddy Bridgewater is one of football’s most popular backup quarterbacks—and for good reason. He was a successful, high-profile star at Louisville. He was drafted late in the first round of the 2014 draft by the Vikings, quickly captured the starting job and helped Minnesota to a 11-5 record that season.
