Aaron

Brooks

“I felt pretty good, but obviously I’m not where I want to be, as I aggravated my injury,” Brooks said. The Saints don’t believe the injury is serious, but Brooks has been bothered by the injury for three weeks now. It should effect his draft stock if it continues to linger.

Brooks showed no side effects of his bruised quad, and said he’s 100 percent. Coaches are concerned about his timing in Sunday’s game, but he should be a worthy starter.

Backups Todd Bouman and J.T. O’Sullivan will share the workload. Brooks will be ready for the regular season but could struggle a bit in his first game.

No lingering effects from his preseason quad injury. “There’s something about Aaron that’s a little different right now,” coach Jim Haslett said. “I don’t know if it’s confidence or what. But it’s good, and I like what I’ve seen so far.”

Barring an unforseen recovery, Brooks will open the season with 25 plays under his belt during the preseason. We’d knock his draft stock down a bit, but he’s still a top ten QB.

He practiced well on Wednesday, but the Saints want to be cautious. Todd Bouman will get the start.

Brooks has been slowed by a bruised quad, but he’s ready for action.

Brooks was bothered by a thigh injury. He should be ready to play during this weekend’s exhibition game.

Brooks is a solid option as a No. 1 QB in most fantasy leagues.

He’s day-to-day. If this lasts much longer, we’ll be worried.
