Saints QB Drew Brees (right thumb) missed practice again Thursday. Teddy Bridgewater will probably draw the start with Taysom Hill potentially playing a role as well.

Saints QB Drew Brees to have thumb surgery Wednesday

After having his injured passing hand examined by two specialists, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has decided to have surgery Wednesday in Los Angeles, to be performed by Dr. Steven Shinn, he told ESPN's Ed Werder.

A timetable for his return won't be known until surgery is complete, a source said.

"I'm confident in the surgery that will take place and will dedicate myself to the rehab process to get back as quickly as I can," Brees told Werder in a text.

Fantasy Impact: 

While there is no official timetable, a timeframe of six weeks has been floating around since Monday. If Brees misses the next six games, it takes him right up to the Saints bye in Week 9, essentially giving him an extra week, with a possible return in Week 10.

Rapoport: Saints QB Drew Brees (thumb) likely to miss six weeks

QB Drew Brees has a torn ligament in his throwing thumb and he’s going to require surgery, sources say. The timeframe depends on the surgery, but he’s likely out 6 weeks. That’s the initial estimate.

Related players: Teddy Bridgewater

Fantasy Impact: 

Brees was struggling on the sideline. A video showed him trying to grab and ball and immediately just dropping it to the ground and walking away. Bridgewater was made the highest paid backup, so he should be the starter with Brees out. It's still a bit of a blow to the offense overall, but Bridgewater, with a full week of practice, should also be improved heading into Week 3 at Seattle.

The schedule isn't a great one for Bridgewater and the Saints though. Week 4 is home vs. Dallas, Week 5 is home vs. Tampa Bay then at Jacksonville for Week 6 and at Chicago Week 7 before hosting the Cards in Week 8. The Saints then have a bye in Week 9 meaning we could see Brees again bye Week 10, giving him seven weeks to recover.

Rapoport: Saints QB Drew Brees believed to have ligament issues in thumb

Saints QB Drew Brees, who visited a specialist following his team’s loss to the Rams, is believed to have a ligament issue on his throwing thumb, per Tom Pelissero and me.

Related players: Teddy Bridgewater, Taysom Hill

Fantasy Impact: 

If the Saints decide to share the information, we could know more today, but HC Sean Payton said we'd know more in two days on Sunday after the game. Either way, it seems as if Brees is going to miss some time, according to Rapoport, meaning Bridgewater is likely under center. Sunday's FOX broadcast pointed out how Payton compared Hill to Steve Young, an NFL Hall of Fame member, so perhaps it's possible Hill gets time under center if Bridgewater struggles. For now consider it a downgrade for the Saints offense, which could rely more on the run game going forward.
