Drew Brees’ wife says he played through torn rotator cuff and fascia during season

Drew Brees had to deal with a punctured lung and 11 rib fractures during the 2020 season and missed four games. Now, his wife has posted that he had even further injury issues plaguing him.

Brittany Brees said on Instagram that her husband played through a torn rotator cuff and torn fascia throughout the entire campaign as well.

The Saints did not list either ailment mentioned on any injury report this past season, and Brittany Brees did not specify when the newly-revealed injuries occurred. The 42-year old’s decline in arm strength was readily apparent.

Many have assumed Brees will retire but perhaps the Saints quarterback may want to try to give it one more run, provided he can return to full health in 2021.
