The Facts:
NFL Network analyst Steve Mariucci appeared on WFAN Radio in New York and said he talked to Favre "a few days ago," and that Favre still is bothered by the left ankle he injured in the Vikings' loss to the Saints in the NFC Championship Game. "He doesn't know yet," Mariucci said when asked if Favre will return. "He's trying to heal up. His body is recovered except for that ankle."
Reported by the Minneapolis Star Tribune
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Mariucci went on to explain: "It's an ankle that he had surgery on twice before and it's still pretty puffy. ... He's trying to determine: Is his body telling him something here? Or is he going to be feeling better in due time. He still hasn't made up his mind, and the Vikings are not rushing him. ..." As the Star-Tribune suggests, this isn't good news for the Vikings considering Favre, who is fully expected to return for another season, will turn 41 in October and this has almost certainly impacted whatever off-season conditioning he can do. ... Stay tuned. More Favre as the offseason progresses.
