Drew Brees’s wife says he played all year with shoulder and foot injuries

Drew Brees’s wife says he played injured all season, with multiple injuries.

Brittany Brees posted a message on social media saying that Drew Brees had serious injuries to his foot and shoulder, not just his broken ribs and punctured lung that made him miss four games during the season.

“The fact that you played all year with a torn rotator cuff, a torn fascia on your foot,” she wrote via NoLa.com.

The torn rotator cuff was never reported during the season, although Brees did appear in the official Saints injury report with an injury to his right shoulder in weeks 8-10. Brees seemed to be struggling to put a lot of strength into his passes as the season progressed, and a rotator cuff injury could be to blame.

The Saints never reported any injuries to Brees’s foot in any of the team’s injury reports.

Brees is planning to retire in this off-season, although he has not announced his plans. Playing with injuries may have accelerated your desire to leave.
