Saints' Drew Brees: Preseason action on tap

Brees will suit up for Saturday's preseason contest against the Jets, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

Brees stands to see his only snaps of the preseason this weekend, as he didn't play in the first two contests and is expected to be withheld from the exhibition finale Aug. 29 against the Dolphins. The veteran-signal caller should play a few drives alongside skill-position standouts Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara while also getting the chance to build some in-game rapport with offseason pickups Jared Cook and Latavius Murray.
