So it sounds like Drew Brees will be back under centre for the Saints against the Chiefs this weekend.
Even though that was always the expected return date, between recent news of Brees still feeling some discomfort throwing, combined with the Saints loss to the Eagles last week probably ending their shot at #1 in the NFC and thus taking the pressure off this game vs KC, I half-expected Brees to wait a little longer. But dude is a psycho in that regard, you just can't keep him on the sidelines any longer than absolutely necessary.
That and from what Sean Payton has hinted at in recent interviews, it seems almost expected Brees will hang em up after this year. So it's not surprising he wants to get in as many games down the stretch here in his probable final season. Including a big matchup vs Mahomes and the defending champs & Super Bowl favourite.
Will be interesting, I'm relieved the Taysom experiment is over, but with the leaky way the Saints OG's have played this year, I'll be cringing every time Brees gets hit on Sunday. [emoji51]
