Brees practices, vows to play

Saints QB DREW BREES has a torn plantar fascia in his right foot, but he returned to practice Friday and seems to have every intention of making good on his promise to play this week against Jacksonville. Brees admits he's in pain even when walking, but he says the team has a good plan for managing his in-game discomfort. We can only note that both teams are 5-9, and the game is thus meaningless. If the injury starts to nag at Brees in the third quarter, say, he probably won't finish this one out.
