Apparently not only are there are different degrees, or grades, of rotator cuff injury, but also different sizes that determine the severity. I'm sure all would have an effect to differing degrees on the ability to throw a football. Not all require surgery.

Cuff Tear Size

Small0-1 cm
Medium1-3 cm
Large3-5 cm
Massive> 5 cm (involves multiple tendons. In the European classification a massive tear is defined as involving 2 or more tendons)

Ellman Classification of Partial-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears

Grade Description
I<3mm (<25% thickness)
II3-6mm (25-50%)
III> 6 mm (>50%)

That was the first time the other member first saw it and it's the earliest picture I have ever seen with it. I searched in game images and couldn't find that tape in any of them. Early November 2020 was the earliest photo where the tape job appears. That was also the week he first appeared on the injury report with a shoulder designation. He wears his sleeves so short it should have been visible in every photo if he had actually been wearing it previous to that game pictured. And, that is the correct KT placement for rotator cuff support, as well. Just google images for KT rotator cuff method.

Drew Brees on injury report, but he downplays right shoulder issue
Posted by Charean Williams on November 4, 2020, 5:35 PM EST

Drew Brees popped up on the injury report with a shoulder injury that limited him. The Saints quarterback, though, said he’s always limited on Wednesdays as routine maintenance.

“It’s pretty standard,” Brees said Wednesday.

Brees played with tape on his shoulder Sunday but continued to downplay his injury.

Brittany will tell the world before Drew would if he's injured. I'll be surprised if Godhell doesn't take away another draft pick for not declaring injuries.
