ESPN.com reports San Diego Chargers QB Drew Brees (shoulder), who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent, suffered a torn labrum in his right shoulder. He is going to seek a second opinion Tuesday, Jan. 3, from Dr. James Andrews before having surgery. Brees said it will take at least four months to recover and rehabilitate from the surgery. Due to the injury, it could complicate what the Chargers do with their decision at quarterback entering 2006.
