Drew Brees has collapsed lung and broken ribs heading into Sunday’s Falcons - Saints game

When Drew Brees left yesterday’s Saints game and gave way to Jameis Winston, you knew he had to be hurt significantly. This is his last season, after all, and nothing minor is going to keep him from throwing a few hundred more short passes before his career is over.

We just didn’t realize how bad it was, and per ESPN, it’s pretty bad.

Saints’ QB Drew Brees has multiple rib fractures on both sides of his chest and a collapsed lung on the right side, per @WerderEdESPN.
