Saints QB Brees 'intends to play' vs. Jaguars

Brees ‘intends to play’ vs. Jags

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees appears determined to overcome a right foot injury in time to play against the Jaguars on Sunday.

“I have every intention of playing. I’m just finding a way to support it and that kind of thing,” Brees said.

When pushed to qualify what “every intention” means, Brees asserted, “I’m going to play.’

Brees, who did not practice on Thursday, said he has a torn plantar fascia ligament, which he says is painful but not necessarily too debilitating to prevent him from being effective.
