As expected, Drew Brees won’t see the field for the Saints in the preseason finale on Thursday night.
The battle to be Drew Brees’ backup will take center stage Thursday night when the Saints’ Pro Bowl quarterback sits out the preseason finale against the Tennessee Titans in Nashville. Former Tulane quarterback Patrick Ramsey will play the first half and Chase Daniel will take over in the second half in the conclusion of a neck-and-neck competition to be Brees’ primary backup. Saints coach Sean Payton will decide by Saturday who will be the No. 2 quarterback and whether to keep both backups on the 53-man roster.
