Drew Brees hopes to “beat” six-week prognosis for return

The timetable Brees was given for his return is “six weeks or so.”

“But I think I can beat that,” Brees said on the radio, via Jeff Duncan of TheAthletic.com.

The option Brees chose allows him to remove the cast in a couple of weeks to begin rehab, because the internal brace supports the injured ligament.

Brees consulted with Angels outfielder Mike Trout, Thunder guard Chris Paul and others who had similar injuries and procedures. However, Brees said his situation is unique because of the position he plays.

I would rather him take it slow. If he reinjures it then it might be over. I would rather us lose out on the season than losing him to retirement.

I totally agree! Don't rush it for the sake of a week or so!

Brees knows his body and the internal brace would prevent the same injury. He can basically begin throwing as soon as he can handle the initial pain from what I understand.

Re: Drew Brees hopes to “beat” six-week prognosis for return

I'm sure he can and will beat that 6 week timeline. I just wonder if it'll have any effects on his touch passes. He's accurate and that's one of his biggest attributes.

I guess I'm more worried about the team getting a few more wins before he comes back. Brees will get on the field when he knows he's ready.

Re: Drew Brees hopes to “beat” six-week prognosis for return

I don't think they should rush Brees back out there.

At his age and this specific injury, I'm worried if he'll even recover.

Kurt Warner had this same injury in his final year with the Rams and it was the main culprit of what led to him becoming a journeyman for a brief bit. It took a long time for Warner to throw the ball with authority again. Brees is much older than he was at the time.

We can rebuild him. Make him stronger and faster. All this for only six million dollars.
