Brees has been recovering from surgery on a thumb injury he sustained in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams. He originally hinted at his return Sunday, calling it a “goal” of his, per ESPN’s Mike Triplett, a sentiment head coach Sean Payton echoed.
Payton continues to back Brees’ comments, saying he may wait until game time to determine whether Brees starts or sits against the Arizona Cardinals, per ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss.
