He will be on the active roster next week.

That's 4 1/2 weeks, roughly 10 days ahead of schedule.

The Saints are going to have to protect Brees from himself. Go the full time until the bye and come back for the division stretch starting with the Clowns on November 10th.

That is what I was thinking also. Divisional games are what truly matter. Give him the extra week from the bye and come back blasting! The last thing we need is for him to rush back and re-injure his thumb.

Saints are 3-1 ... (2-0 with TB).

I wouldn't expect Brees back until after the bye, then matched up against a bad Atl team. Really no reason to "rush" back unless the bottom falls out and we drop the next 2.

Just watching him pace back and forth on the sidelines vs Dallas ... he is itching to get back out there.

Heart of a champion.

I'd say the Arizona game, even though he'd get another 2 weeks before ATL.

Cannot see him active for Jacksonville (which is a shame because I am going

), and Chicago is still a stretch.

I expect Brees to be back as soon as he feels able. This surgery allows for a quick return because the internal brace will make the joint stronger than its original structure. If he is deemed 100% prior to the bye there is no reason to hold him out any longer.

Good thing for Drew's hand that he is married...

Kermit couldn't close the deal with Ms Piggy.

Does anybody think Ms Piggy looks like Hillary Clinton?
