I've read this script somewhere before...
Agent, coach: Favre will play if ankle is healthy
Agent, coach: Favre will play if ankle is healthy
Quote:Brett Favre(notes) might play this season after all, with officials saying the quarterback plans to return for the Minnesota Vikings if his surgically repaired ankle allows it.
Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell and Favreââ¬â¢s agent, Bus Cook, both said Wednesday that the veteran quarterback plans to play if he is healthy. He had surgery on the ankle in May.
Bevell has been close friends with Favre since he was his quarterbacks coach with the Green Bay Packers.
ââ¬ÅI know itââ¬â¢s a decision that he wrestles with,ââ¬Â Bevell said after Wednesday morningââ¬â¢s practice as Favre was throwing the ball around with high school students in Mississippi. ââ¬ÅHeââ¬â¢s a great player. Heââ¬â¢s a great competitor. He mulls things over. Heââ¬â¢s an emotional guy. So he thinks things through long and hard and takes his time with his decision. So Iââ¬â¢m not surprised that things started to come out. We just have to wait and see.ââ¬Â
Bevell said he has spoken to the 40-year-old quarterback recently, but not in the last 24 hours. He said itââ¬â¢s been his understanding that if Favreââ¬â¢s ankle heals well enough, he will return to play for the Vikings this season.
