The Facts: The Saints are in no rush to bring back Brees, and there's still no timetable for when the star quarterback might play again as he recovers from his 11 fractured ribs and punctured lung, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Diehards Line:
Brees was hoping to return in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs, but the Saints want to see their veteran quarterback make a full recovery, be able to throw without any limitations and have complete range of motion before they consider reinserting him into the starting lineup, according to sources. Until that happens, the Saints are prepared to continue playing with Taysom Hill as long as they need, including today's game in Philadelphia against the Philadelphia Eagles. Brees will be questionable at best to play next Sunday against Kansas City, and he would not have been able to play against Philadelphia, according to sources.
