The Saints placed Brees on injured reserve Friday, Nov. 20, meaning he'll miss at least three games with rib injuries. Brees was unable to finish last Sunday's game after absorbing a heavy hit on a sack attempt by 287-pound San Francisco defensive tackle Street, who was penalized for roughing on the play.
