New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton has become a master of misinformation. On Thursday, Payton addressed the media on Drew Brees’s availability against the Kansas City Chiefs and left everyone, including NFL insider Adam Schefter, assuming Brees was unlikely to start so soon after breaking 11 ribs and puncturing his lung.
Sean Payton said Drew Brees still has "a ways to go" in his recovery from 11 broken ribs and a punctured lung. “He's someone we're not gonna just hurry back and just put him in the game,” Payton said.
