| 2nd January, 2006 - 6:57 pm |  AP - Chargers quarterback Drew Brees has a torn labrum in his right shoulder and plans to have surgery as quickly as possible.
Brees dislocated the shoulder in Saturday's home loss to the Denver Broncos. The team suspected then that he had a torn labrum, which was confirmed during an MRI on Sunday.
The fifth-year pro plans to get a second opinion from noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala.
"Obviously I'd like to get this thing operated on as soon as possible," Brees said Monday. "We're all very optimistic. The doctors are very optimistic, saying that this is something that they've seen before, done before, It shouldn't be a big deal."
Brees anticipates a four-month rehab.
