We didn't have trainers so if it wasn't poking through the skin we felt like we couldn't let my team down. So, you can play without being fully healed. It's painful but it can be done.

It was about three weeks before I played and they bothered me the rest of the season. Believe it or not rugby players get hit in the ribs all the time.

Drew says he's not in pain and it won't hamper his ability to play. Hopefully his throwing mechanics are unaffected.

That's what I was wondering. If you could play in only three weeks while regularly taking blows to the ribs during the game then I guess Brees can play with almost twice the recovery time most likely having special care that isn't available to the rest of us. Payton said Brees would only play if pain free and having a full range of motion.

No way you are healed after 11 fractured ribs and a punctured lung AFTER 4 weeks. Brees playing against the Chiefs tells me it is his last year. I thought maybe we had some Saints magic in the tank but todays performance... smh!

11 rib fractures, not 11 fractured ribs. A single rib can have a fracture in more than one location. As for a collapsed lung, it is usually completely, 100% healed in two weeks time. It is absolutely 100% in four weeks. It was a relevant as the skinned knee he had at nine years old.
