HOUSTON (AP) -New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees was ready to focus on football as he returned to practice for the first time since his mother’s funeral.
Brees, who last practiced Sunday, was back on the field as the Saints wrapped up their joint practice with the Texans on Thursday morning.
Mina Brees, an attorney in Austin, died Aug. 7 in Colorado. There was a public memorial service Monday and the family gathered for a private ceremony Wednesday.
Brees says it took a few snaps to get back into rhythm, but he’ll definitely be ready to start Saturday when New Orleans plays Houston.
