Favre Has Two Fractures In His Left Ankle |
With Favre's injury looming, New England head coach, Bill Belichick, expects Favre to play Sunday.
“Of course,” Belichick said to the media Monday. “He's started 8,000 games in a row. Same thing we were all talking about with (Antonio) Gates last week. He wasn't going to play and all that. I don't think you can ever count players like that out."
However, I'm still going to be questioning Favre's status.
This is a perfect opportunity for Minnesota head coach, Brad Childress, to make a quarterback change.
After Minnesota's Sunday night loss against Green Bay, Childress publicly criticized Favre's decision making, and he put some thought into pulling Favre due to his poor performance.
This is not the first time Favre and Childress have butted heads, so this might be a perfect time for Childress to make the switch to quarterback Tarvaris Jackson.
There has been no word on Favre's injury besides him being in a boot, and his status for Sunday is being described as questionable.
