By Ray Glier - AOL NewsSean Payton told reporters at the Senior Bowl that quarterback Drew Brees played with a low-grade MCL sprain in his knee earlier this season. I think we now know where the report came from now on Nov. 4 that Brees and the Saints were hiding a serious knee injury. The details were just a little bit off. OK, they were a lot off.

It seems, though, that the quarterback did have some issues with a knee. You wonder how much that had to do with a ...
