Drew Brees was reportedly considered by the Denver Broncos to come out of retirement for the AFC Championship Game after Bo Nix’s season-ending injury, with coaches Joe Lombardi and Pete Carmichael reaching out and Brees agreeing to a workout before he felt wrist discomfort and declined. The conversations, later acknowledged by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, occurred without initial input to Sean Payton, and Brees ultimately did not return to the field.
