The Facts:
If Favre plans to show for the Packers' training camp, he'll need permission from the NFL. And as of Friday evening, he had not petitioned the league for reinstatement. NFL spokesman Randall Liu said the league did not receive a letter from Favre on Friday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The step is considered a formality, but an important one: Favre can't return until commissioner Roger Goodell receives and approves the request. NFL Network insider Adam Schefter reported earlier Friday that Favre told GM Ted Thompson he plans to report to training camp and could file his reinstatement letter as early as Friday, a move perhaps designed to force the team to quickly trade him. At this point it doesn't look like the Packers are going to blink. Will Favre? Stay tuned.
