re: Brees has 5 fractured ribs and collapsed lung

Does the fact that he remained in pads and helmet on the sideline signal it’s a contusion or a small puncture versus a bigger hole?
Seems like the severity of the lung will really determine how long he’s out?

I would imagine either a tiny pneumothorax (less than 15%) or lung contusion is what he suffered. Anything more dire (blood in the lung cavity, collapsed lung greater than 25%) would require pretty immediate attention and intervention.

Yeah, I don’t know about this collapsed lung part of the reports. I had a partially collapsed lung from a fall off a ladder and I could barely catch my breath right after and was in pain for weeks. I can’t even fathom how someone going through that could complete a drive and then play the rest of the half.
