Saints head coach Sean Payton said after Sunday's 27-13 win over the 49ers that Brees (ribs) will undergo an MRI, independent NFL reporter Josina Anderson reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brees took a big hit late in the first half, and while he stayed in the contest until halftime, Jameis Winston took over after that point. Brees also complained of back soreness when he tried to throw and has battled a right shoulder injury in recent weeks. The results of Brees' MRI should help determine his chances of dressing in Week 11 against Atlanta. Prior to exiting, Brees completed eight of 13 attempts for 76 yards and a touchdown.
