According to a story which originally seemed to emanate from ESPN sources, Favre had X-rays of his right shoulder (he has a partially torn biceps tendon) sent to the Vikings for evaluation. Supposedly he Vikings received the X-rays on Thursday for their doctors to evaluate. If Favre, who turns 40 in October, can return to play without major surgery, supposedly he is game but if not both sides will pretend it never happened.
Favre’s agent, Bus Cook, told ESPN he’s not aware of any X-rays being sent to the Vikings (of course maybe it was an MRI). In any case this new story may confirm Favre’s desire to compete again, particularly against his former team.
