After reports that Drew Brees was headed for surgery on Monday, New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said that the quarterback was going for a second opinion before moving forward with an operation.
It appears that the second opinion was the same as the first one. ‘ ESPN reports that Brees is set have surgery in Los Angeles on Wednesday after going through both consultations.
“I’m confident in the surgery that will take place and will dedicate myself to the rehab process to get back as quickly as I can,” Brees told ESPN’s Ed Werder in a text message.
ESPN adds that a recovery timeline for Brees is expected to come once the surgery is complete. Reports on Monday pegged the timetable at six weeks.
