The veteran quarterback is set to start for the Saints on Sunday as he makes his return to action after a thumb injury.
reported on Saturday that the 40-year-old had returned to full fitness slightly ahead of schedule and will be under the center on Sunday.
When the 12-time Pro Bowl selection underwent surgery in Los Angeles, an internal brace was inserted to stabilize the ligament that was repaired. Brees will also have to wear a splint to prevent further damage, as the injury will not be fully healed until the beginning of December. The quarterback had missed just one game since high school, when he was ruled out of a road game against the Carolina Panthers in Week 3 of the 2015 season because of a shoulder injury.
The Saints haven't missed Brees at all this season, winning all five games without their starting quarterback as Teddy Bridgewater has excelled in place of his teammate.
