New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees fought through 11 rib fractures and a collapsed lung following the Week 10 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. He would go on to miss the next four games, but made a remarkably quick return in order to help lead his team to the playoffs and a hopeful Super Bowl run.
However, even before that game Brees looked uncomfortable going through warmups constantly shaking his shoulder out. Brees is well known for being a compulsive creature of habit. His preparation going into each game is the same, his warmup is the same, his mindset is the same.
