Andrus Peat waiting to find out if he needs surgery for broken thumb
 

More details have emerged regarding the injury that’s keeping Saints left guard Andrus Peat out of practice, although his return date remains unclear.

The initial report was that Peat is missing time due to a hand injury and Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reported on Tuesday that he has a broken thumb. Peat may need surgery to repair the injury and a better idea of when he’ll be back will come into focus once the answer to that question is known.

As of now, though, Peat hasn’t been ruled out of playing in the season opener against the Buccaneers. If he does play in that game, he could be doing so with a club on his hand.

Nick Easton replaced Peat in practice and also filled in for him when he missed multiple weeks with a broken forearm last season.

So I’ve seen he’s out for 2 weeks to out for the season, what is it?

Two weeks. He could play with it if needed.

THIS!

Broken bones can happen at any time to anybody.

Some peoples bodies just can't take a beating while others can. Apparently, he can't hold up to the stress on his body from playing a contact sport. I realize it's another broken bone and those heal but dang! It's always something with this guy! Poor guy does have some bad luck on a regular basis.

This wasn't from playing a game. That's why I am curious what happened. Was it football related or not? Of course, with HIPAA laws we may never know.
