The big question facing the New Orleans Saints right now is tough to answer: when will Drew Brees be back? His backup, Taysom Hill, has performed admirably and quarterbacked the Saints to a 3-0 record in Brees’ absence. But setting a firm timeline for Brees’ return isn’t really possible at this point. If anyone would know, it’s Saints coach Sean Payton.

“He’s doing well,” Payton said during a Tuesday interview with SiriusXM NFL Radio. “We pretty much see him daily here. He’s extremely diligent with all of the specifics, and part of it’s time (to rest and recover). I saw him this morning.”

Payton quickly added, “Hopefully it’s sooner than later, though. I think it’s going well.”

Brees is eligible to return for the Saints’ upcoming game with the Philadelphia Eagles, but that isn’t the same thing as him being likely to be activated from injured reserve. If he’s far enough along to be practicing with the team and preparing to play on Sunday, he’d be doing that already.

And based off Payton’s latest comments, it sounds like Brees isn’t ready just yet. Maybe a more realistic target could be the following week’s matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs.
