Sean Payton says Saints QB Drew Brees to have 2nd opinion

Earlier reports of Saints quarterback Drew Brees needing surgery for a torn ligament in the thumb on his throwing hand are a bit premature according to head coach Sean Payton.

Today Coach Payton stated that “They are still in the midst of evaluating it. He’s had one opinion, he’s having a second opinion,”  “As soon as we know something that we can confirm, then we’ll report it. But, right now, that is kind of the stage we are in.”

Does that mean there is a chance Drew Brees could play Sunday in Seattle? Or will Teddy Bridgewater be leading the team under center?

Payton answered that question “I’m not going into the hypothetical,”  “We’ll have a plan either way.”

Coach Payton went on to say:

“You focus on the things that you can control and I think that this is where you lean on leadership,”  “You get ready to have a good week of practice. It’s kind of the nature of our life sometimes. You come in on a Monday and you’ve got a handful of things you’re having to address and that’s part of the deal.”
