A torn plantar fascia reportedly won't be enough to keep Drew Brees off the field this week.

The New Orleans Saints quarterback will start Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars despite being listed as questionable heading into the weekend, reports Adam Schefter of ESPN.

With the Saints eliminated from playoff contention, and thus not having much to play for over the final two weeks, it wouldn't have been a surprise to see Brees held out.

The nine-time time Pro Bowler will look to help his team to a strong finish, as a respectable 7-9 season remains within reach.

Brees has started all but one game for the Saints this season, continuing to play at a high level 15 years into his pro career.

He sits fourth among NFL passers this season with 4,135 yards, while his 28 touchdowns ranks ninth.

Tight end Benjamin Watson is also in line to play despite being questionable with a knee injury, according to Schefter. Wide receiver Marques Colston, meanwhile, will reportedly be held out due to a chest ailment.
