Extent of Drew Brees' injured thumb unknown; Sean Payton says update to come
 
1 Attachment(s)
Drew Brees will go through the full medical procedure to evaluate the thumb on his throwing hand after injuring it, Saints coach Sean Payton said after New Orleans' 27-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday afternoon.

Payton gave few specifics about Brees' injury during his postgame news conference — brushing off questions about if the 19-year quarterback had an MRI or x-ray done after the injury happened during the game.

"It was a thumb (injury)," Payton said. "Right away, when he attempted to throw, he was having pain with it. It wasn't anything elaborate.

"I'm sure we'll go through the whole medical procedure and we'll give you an update in two days."

Brees injured his right hand during the first quarter after he hit his throwing hand on the hand of Rams All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald during a third-down pass intended for tight end Jared Cook.

He's likely out multiple weeks, whether it's a sprain, ligament tear, dislocation, or a break.

We're going to see what our team is made of. Tom Brady was out once for many games.

Pats had better back-ups than the Saints if I remember correctly

They went 2-0 with Jimmy G and then 1-1 with Jacoby Brissett.

That Pats team also had a much better offense than we do. Gronk was healthy during that timeframe, and it was when they had Danny Amendola in his prime alongside Edleman.

He couldn’t even pick up the ball. If it’s the UCL he’s going on IR.

Drew Brees: I’m concerned, will see hand specialist

Quote:
"You're hitting your hands on stuff all the time — helmets and different things," he said during a news conference following the loss. "You might get jammed thumbs, jammed fingers, different things where it swells up and what have you. But this felt like it was something a bit more significant that prevented me from gripping the ball."
Drew Brees to meet with specialist about thumb, says injury felt 'a bit more significant'

If Brees of all people is concerned and he couldn't even grip the football, then I think hes out for a while.

I'm guessing atleast 4-6 weeks.

If UCL (Ulnar collateral ligament injury of the thumb)...



Quote:
If the tear is complete or if the patient has significant instability due to the tear of the ulnar collateral ligament, then surgery may be considered. Surgery is usually most effective when performed within the first few weeks following injury. If possible, the surgeon will repair the torn ends of the ligament back together. If the ligament is torn from the bone, then the torn end will be sutured down to the bone itself.

If the injury to the ulnar collateral ligament is older, then it is likely that a direct repair will not be possible. In this case, either another structure will be transferred to reconstruct the ulnar collateral ligament or one of the muscles at the base of the thumb will be advanced to compensate for the torn ligament.

Following surgery, patients will be placed in a cast for four to six weeks to protect the repaired ligament. At that point, gentle motion of the finger will begin. Most patients are able to play sports 3 to 4 months after surgery. Risks of surgery include infection, healing problems, and nerve injury. In addition, even with the surgical procedure, the damage to ligament will need time for healing.
Very Well Health

Well it is what it is, right now the NFC South isn't exactly setting the league on fire.
If anyone will comeback quick it will be Drew. You can bet right now he's shopping for a Bionic Thumb.
Maybe on Amazon Prime..

Performance and Return to Sport After Thumb Ulnar Collateral Ligament Surgery in National Football League Players.

Quote:
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Acute ruptures of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the thumb are common injuries in sports. Surgical repair of complete tears has yielded excellent results in elite athletes.

METHODS: National Football League (NFL) players who underwent thumb UCL surgery and matched controls were identified. Demographic and performance data were collected. Performance scores were calculated using a standardized scoring system. Return to sport (RTS) in the NFL was defined as playing in at least 1 NFL game after thumb UCL surgery. Comparisons between case and control groups and preoperative and postoperative time points were made using paired-samples Student t tests.

RESULTS: Twenty-three players were identified (mean age: 28.8 ± 3.4 years and mean experience in the NFL: 5.9 ± 3.4 years). Twenty-two players (95.7%) were able to return to sport in the NFL at an average of 132.2 ± 126.1 days. The overall 1-year NFL career survival rate of players undergoing thumb UCL surgery was 87.0%. There was not a statistically significant decrease in games per season and career length for any position following surgery. No positions had a significant difference in postoperative performance when compared with preoperative performance, and there was no significant performance difference postoperatively when compared with matched controls.

CONCLUSIONS: There is a high rate of RTS in the NFL following thumb UCL surgery. Players who underwent thumb UCL surgery played in a similar number of games per season and had similar career lengths in the NFL as controls. No position group had any significant postoperative performance score differences when compared with postindex matched controls.

Neither QB gives us much of a chance if the supporting cast doesn’t step up and carry more of the load. Taysom has a lively arm but still has some work to do on accuracy.

Like I said, these WRs are going to have to step up.

Hill has been more accurate than Teddy throughout all pre season games. There is no reason for Teddy to start from what I’ve seen, but sounds like Payton will be stubborn on this. My bet is Teddy helps us lose the next 3 games and Hill is forced to try and save the season, but it’ll be too late...

Looks like the end of the Drew Brees age is here, sadly isn’t going to end on his terms.

If he sees Dr Andrews he's done. Taysum should be the backup. Said my peace.

It's time to Getsom Taysom. Teddy brings no fire to the team and needs to be traded or cut in my opinion. Did anyone else wonder why on one play he just threw the ball into the ground and didn't even try to complete a pass.

Thank you. Everyone here flips the **** out. Last year there were people calling for Brees to get traded or not resigned and to keep TB.

Now we have people calling for SP's head because we play a ****ed up game in LA.

Get a grip people. Save the stupid **** for Falcon forums. Stop embarrassing yourselves. Lol

I'm sure they're over there laughing their ass off. I know I would be if this was reversed and I saw some of the **** people are posting. Lol.

I hear you but I also live in reality. If he sees Dr Andrews we are done. If you don't want to accept reality that is your own personal struggle.

I'm not saying anything. I can accept reality. Dude, we're 1-1 and have no idea what's going to happen or when or if hes coming back.

There's people ****in freaking out and wanting SP fired and **** dude.

It's week 2 for Christ's sake.

And I'm not some blow hard that goes around not questioning moves or decisions the FO makes or doesn't make.

I just hate when people here laugh at the Falcon fans and their forums, then something happens and the ****in sky is falling and people act the same way.

Can we at least figure out what the reality is before people make up the narrative themselves and peg us for DOOOOOOMED.

Frankly, its embarrassing.

The reality is it's really bad. He might be put on IR that's how bad it is. The second reality is Bridgewater will get us nowhere. He looks like a slow Brooks. If Taysum is not out there it's over.

Then I hope Taysom gets the job.

Doctors don't like it; Patients just want it to go away; but surgery carries lots of risks, and ego-centric surgeons guilty of infallibility should always have their opinions reviewed; and a second set of eyes doesn't hurt...
