Brees posted the videos on his Instagram Saturday evening, showing him throwing the ball while his right thumb appeared to be wrapped.

Brees was spotted back at practice earlier this week, though he was reportedly still resting his hand and ran drills solo.

The team has gone 2-0 behind back-up QB Teddy Bridgewater since Brees has been sidelined by the injury.
