EDGE Analysis

The Saints will post what is merely expected to be an estimated injury report Wednesday, but Brees' status still will be one to watch for, especially after coach Sean Payton told Triplett on Monday that "if [Brees is] healthy, you play him." Speaking to Arizona media Wednesday, Payton also relayed that Brees may be a game-time decision Sunday against the Cardinals, per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com. If Brees reclaims his starting gig upon getting cleared, he'll push Teddy Bridgewater back to the No. 2 role.
