Favre expected to play next week

Quarterback Brett Favre has a bruised right elbow -- a less serious injury than he suffered last November, when he had a nerve injury -- and is expected to play Dec. 9 against Oakland, coach Mike McCarthy said this afternoon.

Favre also aggravated an old separation on his left (non-throwing) shoulder, but that injury isn't a concern, according to McCarthy. The 17th-year veteran was in for treatment this morning and has begun to regain feeling in the hand.

"To quote the medical staff, the (starting) streak is not in danger," McCarthy said.

McCarthy said coaches would meet Tuesday or Wednesday to discuss Favre's availability and wouldn't rule out signing a third quarterback.

Starting is good but will he finish? He is my FF QB so it is either take the chance with him in or put Elli Manning in.

For the rest of us, if we were hurt like Favre we would be laid up for 6 or 7 weeks.

Hey Frank, I have the Bear Defense in our FF League.

Starting is good but will he finish? He is my FF QB so it is either take the chance with him in or put Elli Manning in.

The Bear's Defense could do better against Eli than the Vikings did. I think the Bear's defense is better than the Vikings.

Just kick the ball to Hester!

If Brett starts The game, he will finish it. Unless, it is a blow out either way.

Bret has been in the business for so long I thought he would retire this season but as a Packers fan that would be really the last thing on my mind. Glad to know he's going to play this weekend.

For most of us, if we were hurt like Favre we would take the gold retirement watch and go home!
