The New Orleans Saints will start Drew Brees for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Saints believe Brees is now fully healthy from his broken ribs.

Sean Payton insisted earlier this week that Brees would not be rushed back into the lineup and that he would need to "be asymptomatic, feeling good, strong and like he can function and be an asset and play well." Brees apparently met the standard he needed to reach.
