Drew Brees visiting specialist, concerned thumb injury is ‘signficant’

Drew Brees injured his thumb badly on Sunday as the New Orleans Saints took on the Los Angeles Rams, and the quarterback has concerns it’s a “significant” injury.

Josina Anderson of ESPN spoke with Brees, who told her he’s visiting a specialist in Los Angeles Sunday. He also shared that he hurt his thumb on a throw to Jared Cook when he hit Aaron Donald.

The veteran couldn’t even grip a football in the second half, so the fear of this being a significant injury is certainly well founded.

With Brees out for the foreseeable future, the Saints will have to rely on Teddy Bridgewater, who had a rough afternoon against the Rams Sunday.
