Re: Brees to start on Sunday vs Chiefs

Do players recovering with rib related injuries wear inflatable type flak jackets anymore I am going to date myself here finishing this thought and query but I recall back in the 80s Dan Pastorini wore a flak jacket which apparently offered him and his ribs some protection during live game action.

There is perhaps far more advanced equipment used today instead of the flak jacket or whatever that riggin' was that they had Pastorini wearing. I may be using the wrong terminology to describe the piece of equipment that Pastorini used back then but suffice to say it was some kind of inflatable vest that protected him somewhat(at least in theory it was supposed to).

Wonder if Brees might be wearing some kind of extra protection along these lines or might that kind of thing hinder him throwing the ball

Whatchay'all think?
