Brett Favre
might still have a prime-time performance left in him.Favre, who had previously been ruled out of Monday night's game against the Chicago Bears by the Vikings, is now feeling well enough that he's going to test out his injured shoulder on Monday afternoon. If he feels OK, he'll start at quarterback, a week after the shoulder injury ended his NFL-record streak of 297 consecutive games started.
Officially, the Vikings are listing Favre as questionable.
Favre is perhaps the most durable player in NFL history, so it's no surprise that he's going to try to take the field just two weeks after a significant injury to his throwing shoulder. However, it is a surprise that the Vikings would rule him out if there was a chance he could play -- that could get the team in trouble with the league office, which takes the accuracy of injury reports seriously.
Favre is also a player with a flair for the dramatic -- and a man who loves to be the center of attention -- so it's fitting he wants to get back on the field for a prime-time game against the Bears. Favre says he will retire after the season (and he says this time he really means it), and he surely doesn't want the play when he was injured against the Bills two weeks ago to be the last of his career.
