As expected, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will be active for the team's Sunday Night Football matchup with the Dallas Cowboys.
Brees missed last week's game against the Carolina Panthers with what could have turned out to be a serious shoulder injury. Fortunately for Brees and the Saints, it was nothing more than a bruised rotator cuff.
With Brees on the field, the Saints are attempting to avoid what would be a disastrous 0-4 start to the season. Since the AFL-NFL merger back in 1966, only one team has earned a trip to the playoffs after losing their first four games.
The good news here for New Orleans is that it will be taking on Brandon Weeden, who will be starting in Tony Romo's stead for the second consecutive game. Romo is out until at least Week 11 with a collarbone injury.
