According to the NFL Networks’ Tom Pelissero, the New Orleans Saints quarterback is seeing Dr. Steven Shin, the Rams’ renowned hand specialist in L.A.

As a result, Brees’ recovery is expected to take six to eight weeks. The Saints have not yet made any move to put Brees on injured reserve, which would keep him out at least eight weeks, Pelissero added.
