NEW ORLEANS -- Drew Brees acknowledged that his shoulder was affected Sunday by a big hit he took early in the New Orleans Saints' 26-19 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- though he said he "absolutely" never considered leaving the game and isn't too concerned going forward.

The shoulder wasn't being iced or wrapped in the locker room after the game or during Brees' postgame interview session.

"That's the season. Everybody's dealing with something. ... Just gotta get a little stronger, that's all," said Brees, who was hit repeatedly throughout Sunday's loss.

Brees said the shoulder was especially affected on a few deep throws that "didn't come out really well," including an underthrown interception early in the third quarter.
