New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees (knee) practiced in full Thursday, Dec. 26, and his knee doesn’t appear to be an issue heading into the team’s Week 17 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. ‘He’s fine,’ head coach Sean Payton said. ‘He had a right knee bruise. There’s nothing more to it than that. And yet, we thought it was best we limited the amount of snaps he’s getting. … We just felt like we had a day to do that.’ Brees showed no signs of his knee affecting him in practice the last two days.

Footballguys View: Brees is one of our top fantasy quarterbacks this weekend and the Saints need him.
