LOS ANGELES -- Drew Brees has been sidelined by an injury for just the second time in his 14 years as the New Orleans Saints' quarterback.
Brees was replaced by Teddy Bridgewater late in the first quarter Sunday after his right throwing hand hit Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald's hand at the end of an incomplete pass. Brees had his right thumb and lower hand/wrist area taped by a trainer on the bench. He remained on the sideline in uniform, and he was officially announced as questionable to return with a hand injury.
