Drew Brees says his thumb is getting stronger every day

If he can make it back for the chicago game I'll be ecstatic. Any sooner would just be extra icing on the cake.

Meanwhile that Demario Davis dude has been eating souls to aide in his recovery ...

I’m just glad that drew’s dental care routine is going so well.

He will be on the active roster next week.

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.
