The Saints are preparing for quarterback Drew Brees to miss time after suffering a rib contusion in Sunday's win over the 49ers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Rapoport reports Brees, 41, could be out for some time in order to fully heal from the rib injury, which he sustained midway through the second quarter. Brees took a sack from Kentavius Street and remained in the game. He informed coaches at halftime that he was unable to continue.
After Sunday's game, coach Sean Payton said Brees would undergo an MRI and X-rays to assess the severity of the injury.
