quarterback remained limited in practice Thursday due to a shoulder injury.
ESPN's Mike Triplett provided more information:
"The New Orleans Saints quarterback was working off to the side with no pads during the early portion of practice that was open to the media and was officially listed as a limited participant. It is rare for Brees to be limited in practice this late in the week and unclear if that will affect his status for Sunday night's critical NFC South showdown at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers." Per Triplett, Brees wore Kinesio tape on his right throwing shoulder while leading the Saints to a 26-23 overtime victory against the Chicago Bears last Sunday.
