Drew Brees plans to practice this week and hopes he can return as early as this coming Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
\"We\'ll see how it goes. I\'d love to [play]. It\'s a goal,\" Brees said.
When asked if he considers it a realistic goal, the quarterback said, \"I hope so.\"
The New Orleans Saints have won five straight with Teddy Bridgewater under center.
Brees has been sidelined since he suffered a thumb injury on his right throwing hand in Week 2. He had surgery Sept. 18 to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament.
