Report: Saints QB Drew Brees may miss time with rib injury

New Orleans’ Drew Brees could miss playing time after sustaining a rib injury in Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport

#Saints QB Drew Brees suffered a rib contusion in yesterday’s game, and he’ll have an MRI for cartilage damage today. But sources tell me and @TomPelissero that New Orleans is bracing for Brees to miss some time to fully heal.

Brees sat out the second half of Sunday’s game after he told head coach Sean Payton that he wasn’t able to play.
