The Facts:
Favre has been told by doctors that pain in his right shoulder is from a torn biceps tendon and some calcification in the area, but the veteran QB would need nothing more than arthroscopic surgery to repair the injury, sources said. The sources Tuesday also said the 39-year-old Favre might be able to avoid an arthroscopic procedure altogether if he decides to play a 19th NFL season.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to ESPN's Ed Werder, Favre has been encouraged to take as much time as he needs before determining whether to return to the Jets. According to Werder's source, Favre is expected to deliberate for several weeks, perhaps to allow New York time to hire former HC Eric Mangini's successor. Mangini was fired Monday after three seasons.
