New Orleans Saints’ Drew Brees Has A Torn Plantar Fascia In Foot

And when Detroit’s Ameer Abdullah ran untouched 15 yards around the left end for a touchdown early in the third quarter, the Lions had built a 28-3 lead.

If Brees is unable to play, it would the just the second game in his 10 seasons with the Saints that he would have to sit due to injury.

The Saints don’t practice until tomorrow, so they won’t know until then if Brees can still go.

Brees had his foot taped up during the game after limping off the field and was in a walking boot during his post-game press conference.

No other quarterback has more than six straight.

They’ve been competitive even in their two losses during that stretch, falling once on a last-second touchdown heave by Green Bay and losing by a touchdown against St. Louis. “He was chasing perfection”, said Lions receiver Golden Tate, who caught two short touchdown passes. Whether or not he’s part of the team moving forward, Brees deserved better. “I’m close enough to my son back in Dallas where I’m pretty much back there once a week or he’s over here; my daughter is off in college now”, Payton said.

Coach Jim Caldwell said a couple weeks ago that Walker spending his time elsewhere matters little. “He was huge for us and spread it around quite a bit”.

Saints head coach Sean Payton has no intention of revealing who will be their starting quarterback on Sunday against the Jaguars. “You have to respect that”, Saints tight end Ben Watson said. “You know they are going to make a run”.

Conversely, the Saints are among the league’s bottom three in all major defensive statistics – 32nd in points allowed, 31st in total yards allowed, 30th against the pass and 32nd against the run. As the Saints moved down the field at the end of the first half and looked as though they might score from the Detroit 1-yard line, Caldwell called a series of timeouts to see if the Lions, already leading 21-3, could get the ball back for another quick drive.

So what did we expect from the game?

Brees, who surpassed the 60,000 passing yard mark in Monday night’s loss, says that he is hopeful he can finish the 2015 season despite suffering the injury, according to Werder.

With 179 yards, Brees joins Peyton Manning, Brett Farve and Dan Marino.

Brees also injured his right foot in the second quarter, though he never missed a snap.

The Lions (5-9) raced to a 28-3 lead, but Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes – one shortly after a Lions fumble – to help New Orleans (5-9) get to 28-20 with about 10 minutes left. However, the Saints found a rhythm late, and receivers Brandin Cooks and Willie Snead gave the Lions some problems.

In the game, he completed 34 of 52 passes for 341 yards and three touchdowns, without an interception.

It’s the first time in his career that he has registered a passer rating of at least 130.0 twice in a season.
