Brees was listed as limited on Wednesday's for non-injury reasons. Afterward, he noted that the capped practice was "just [for] rest", according to Mike Triplett of ESPN.com.
EDGE Analysis
Brees has been an iron man as a member of the Saints, missing just two contests in nearly 11 seasons with the organization. And one of those occurred at the end of the 2009 regular season that concluded with a victory in Super Bowl XLIV. He is coming off back-to-back zero-TD, three-interception performances, so perhaps head coach Sean Payton is using the tactic as a means to refocus his franchise quarterback. Brees is just 830 yards short of the fifth 5,000-yard campaign of his career with three games remaining, so he'll aim to bounce back Sunday against a Cardinals defense with injury concerns across the back end.
