Drew Brees injured at Pro Bowl

HONOLULU (Feb. 10, 2007) -- New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees dislocated his left elbow in the first quarter of the Pro Bowl.

Brees, who throws right-handed, didn't break any bones.

Brees made the All-Pro team while leading the resurgent Saints to the NFC championship game, but was injured while throwing a fourth-down incompletion on the NFC's second drive at the NFL all-star game. The NFC starter went 2-of-7 for 23 yards in the scoreless first quarter.

Brees, who passed for 4,418 yards and 26 touchdowns this season to earn his second trip to the Pro Bowl, didn't return to the game -- but coach Sean Payton wasn't likely to play his New Orleans star much beyond the opening quarter, anyway.

ESPN said it would take 2 months then he would be ready to go again, but the tackle looked as if his side or leg would have been what was injured.

Another reason why no one want's to go to the Pro Bowl anymore.

When I saw it, I thought it had to be his knee that was injured.

They should do away with the Pro Bowl. Still have the players picked for the Pro Bowl, but just have the competitions/challenges for each position, AFC vs NFC.
