New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees says he's so excited about the pace of his recovery from shoulder surgery that he has to be careful not to get carried away.
Brees underwent surgery in January to repair a ring of cartilage that stabilizes the ball-and-socket joint in his throwing shoulder, and is ahead of schedule in his rehabilitation.
Though still limited, he is throwing short and intermediate passes during portions of the Saints' weekend mini-camp.
"I'm not doing any of the team drills right now because that's when you stop thinking about everything else physical, and you just go and play and react," Brees said, "and I'm afraid that I'd get out there and try to hose one in there when I'm not supposed to. Not like it would hurt me, but probably not the smartest thing."
