Report: Favre had surgery, still isn't 100 percent
Brett Favre has taken a significant step in his quest to play for the Minnesota Vikings, but that doesn't mean he will be wearing purple this season. The longtime Green Bay Packers quarterback underwent arthroscopic surgery last month to repair his injured (right) passing shoulder, according to ESPN, but remains unable to make a commitment because subsequent throwing sessions indicate the shoulder is not yet 100 percent. ESPN cited two sources in reporting the story Sunday. Favre retired from the New York Jets in February at least in part because of a partially torn biceps tendon in his throwing arm. Favre, 39, has thrown on a limited basis since the surgery, according to the network, but has not felt close to "100 percent" and would not return unless he makes significant progress.
