NEW ORLEANS - Drew Brees could return to the Saints starting lineup just in time for the team s biggest game of the regular season.
Saints insider Nick Underhill reported Wednesday that Brees had been cleared to return to practice from the injured reserve list. Brees was sidelined the past four games with fractured ribs and a collapsed lung.
#Saints QB Drew Brees (lung/many ribs) was officially designed to return to practice, per the wire. A big-time and positive step toward returning potentially as early as Sunday vs. the #Chiefs. @nick underhill had reported this.
