What was up with the compression sleeve on Drew Brees right elbow today?

Anyone with any expertise here? Drew hasn't quite looked himself this year (although still very efficient) and I'm wondering if he may be playing a bit banged up. I mean, this guy never misses a game. You hear about QB's around the league being injured every week. Maybe Brees battles through minor injuries pretty regularly.

Writing on it and taking names. No big deal.

It was a compression sleeve. It had nothing to do with injury, he said.

He has played in the league for over 15 years and all of the sudden he's going to start wearing a compression sleeve for no apparent reason? Consider me a bit skeptical

He’s been throwing the ball terribly downfield even the completed passes wobble or are at least 4-5 yards away from being picked... I hope somethings wrong because if not its time to start looking for a QB

The first miss to Ginn was pretty bad. And the TD pass was a bit wobbly and definitely off the mark (under thrown and to the left). Ginn really shouldn't have had to take that hit

Few options here.

1. You are making shite up.
2. You heard a dumb rumor.





3. You have some knowledge.

Either way its probably 1 and if he did at all thats going to find a way to make news.

My guess would be he's fighting through tendinitis or got it knocked at some point.

No way he just randomly starts wearing it out of the blue after 15 years (counting college) of having bare arms.

The good news is if we keep winning we'll have a bye and only one potential road / cold game as Super Bowl is in friendly confines of US Bank Stadium in Minny

It could just be some tendonitis or something that a compression sleeve would actually help with.

He really likes those Brett Favre commercials.

Tendinitis is my bet.

A lot of people wear compression sleeves. Maybe he heard some good things about them from teammates and wanted to try it.
