NEW ORLEANS – Saints record-setting quarterback Drew Brees “looked good” in his first practices since returning from rib fractures and a punctured lung, and is slated to start against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, coach Sean Payton said.“We went off how it felt as he went through a full practice week.
And he’s done a good job,” Payton said after Friday's practice. Brees has missed four games since his injury, which occurred when he was sacked against San Francisco.Taysom Hill has started in Brees' place, going 3-1.
Even before Brees' injury, Hill would intermittently take snaps under center to provide New Orleans' with a change-of-pace, read-option QB.
