Defensive Tackle · New Orleans Saints

Bryan Bresee

No. 90 · 4th season

Bryan Bresee's season is over before it really began

A torn ACL ends seasons. It also ends momentum, plans, and whatever a player had been building toward. For Bryan Bresee, that surgery date is now the only thing on the calendar that matters.

Bresee plays defensive tackle for the New Orleans Saints — the kind of position where trust is earned through reps, and reps take time. A prior Gripd story has covered who he is and what he's been working toward. What this week adds to that story is simpler and harder: he's going under the knife, and he won't be back this year.

A torn ACL is a long road. Surgery is just the first day of it. The months after — the ones nobody films — are where this chapter actually gets written.

The Saints lose a piece of their defensive line. Bresee loses a season. What he does with the one that follows is the question worth watching.
