Saints’ DT Bresee getting second opinion on knee injury, Kellen Moore says
NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - The first day of training camp might have been a costly one for the Saints.
Starting defensive tackle Bryan Bresee sustained a knee injury that NFL Network insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported could be severe. Their reports said the team fears Bresee tore a knee ligament that could require season-ending surgery.
Coach Kellen Moore said Thursday that Bresee is getting a second opinion on the injury.
