Broken ribs and a collapsed lung ain’t going to hold Drew Brees down for long … the QB is guaranteeing a quick recovery from his gnarly injuries — saying his fam is helping!!
The New Orleans Saints star posted photographic proof late Monday night … showing he’s already working on breathing exercises while 3 of his kids tended to his wounds.
“Who Dat Nation,” Brees captioned the pic, “I’ve got the best medical team in the world…will be back in no time!”
The 41-year-old is dealing with some serious ailments … Brees reportedly suffered 3 broken ribs against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Nov. 8 — and then he did even more damage to his innards against the 49ers on Sunday.

According to multiple reports, after S.F. D-lineman Kentavius Street landed on Brees during a violent tackle in the 2nd quarter of the Saints’ win, the signal-caller broke 2 more ribs and collapsed his lung.
Drew ended up having to leave the game … and while no timetable for recovery has been given — most believe the injuries could sideline him for over a month.
Brees had been having a super-efficient season … completing 73.5 percent of his passes while throwing for 18 touchdowns to just 3 interceptions.
Backup Jameis Winston is expected to fill in for the future Hall of Famer while he recovers.
