Saints coach Payton: Brees is day-to-day with foot injury
Manning has missed the past five games with his injury and may eventually need surgery.

If Brees is unable to play, it would the just the second game in his 10 seasons with the Saints that he would have to sit due to injury. Brees was harassed on nearly every pass play because the Lions knew his ability to move in the pocket was diminished. “I don’t know if that pertains to his specific injury”. Brees is expected to be listed as day to day for that game.
There’s no reason to risk any further injury, not with the Saints having nothing left to play for (save a better draft position). In all honesty, it probably wouldn’t be risky for Brees to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, considering they don’t really ever hit the quarterback. “That would be in the regular season, that would be in the postseason, that would be with two weeks left to go in the season where we’re at now”. Of course, the most famous game between the two teams came on December 21, 2003, when the Saints used a pass and three laterals to complete an unbelievable 75-yard TD on the game’s final play – which later was dubbed the “River City Relay”.
Marques Colston (chest) was a non-participant in Wednesday’s practice, Evan Woodbery of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
The Saints have a short week of preparation before their next game. The score pulled the Saints to within one point at 20-19, but they couldn’t get the game to overtime when the extra point sailed wide right. The Saints’ defense is a mess, and unlikely to get markedly better in one offseason, and if he opted out of his deal with the team, Payton would be a hot commodity.
Anderson has not yet made a recommendation to Brees, who is believed to be considering several different treatment protocols, the source said. We’re just anxious about getting our game plan together and we’ll see how he (progresses) throughout the week.
The Lions, who rank 31st in the league in rushing offense, got a major boost from their ground game against the Saints, gaining 150 yards and two scores.
Both Joique Bell and Abdullah had more than 70 yards against the Saints, and the Lions have rushed for more than 100 yards in six of the seven games since Cooter took over offensive coordinator duties.

“I don’t know who it would be if Drew wasn’t there, but again, I’ll reiterate the fact that since I’ve been here, Drew hadn’t missed a game except for the Carolina game this year”, Watson said. He has completed 67.6 percent of his passes for 4,135 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 receptions, working with a blossoming receiving corps led by Brandin Cooks and Willie Snead to give the Saints the No. 1 passing offense in the NFL.
