MINNEAPOLIS — What would a day in Vikings Land be without a little Brett Favre drama?
We don’t yet know if Favre will play Monday night when the Vikings host the Bears at TCF Bank Stadium. But we know there will be Favre drama.
Favre on Monday was unexpectedly upgraded on the injury report from out to questionable. The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports Favre will test his sore right shoulder a few hours before game time to see if he can throw. On Saturday, Favre was ruled out because he was experiencing numbness in his right hand.
Vikings trainer Eric Sugarman told Vikings.com that Favre “attempted to throw the football two days ago and was unable to, due to pain in the SC joint and residual numbness from a brachial plexus injury. He declared himself out at that time. He woke up this morning feeling much improved. His symptoms and function have improved dramatically over the past 24 hours. In fairness to him and his team, he would like to be given the opportunity to play tonight if physically able.”
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told the Associated Press there is nothing in the rules that prevents a team from changing a player’s injury report designation.
“If a player’s medical status changes during the course of the week, the club must update his playing status accordingly prior to the game,” Aiello said. “That is what the Vikings did when Brett’s status changed today.”
