Whoever starts at quarterback for the New Orleans Saints on Sunday should get more than one week to prove themselves. The Saints will be without usual starter Drew Brees for at least three weeks after placing Brees on Injured Reserve on Friday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Brees was removed from the team’s Week 10 game due to fractured ribs and a collapsed lung. Brees was initially expected to miss just two weeks due to those injuries, but the team decided to give Brees more time to recover.
In nine games, Brees has thrown for 2,196 yards, with 18 touchdowns against 3 interceptions.
