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.

Not sure where you got this information. Warner suffered a broken pinkie in 2002 and revealed after being benched in 2003 (final season with the Rams) that he had previously broken his hand and it didn't heal properly. Not relevant to the Brees injury at all.

As for the Brees procedure, it is a relatively new procedure that allows for much quicker recovery as an internal brace is installed which allows the hand to be used while healing. And Brees is only 40 years old, which is considered young when it comes to healing and recovery ... especially when you take care of your body as well as Brees.
