NEW YORK (AP)—Brett Favre(notes) will know in several weeks whether his surgically repaired arm will allow him to come out of retirement again.
The quarterback made his first public comments since retiring from the New York Jets in February in an interview Monday night on “Joe Buck Live.†He said the only team he has spoken to is the Minnesota Vikings—and that they would be a perfect fit because he’s familiar with their offense.
The three-time NFL MVP said Dr. James Andrews performed the surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago on his throwing arm. Andrews told him it would take 4-5 weeks to know if he’ll be able to make all the throws he needs to.
“If it ever gets to the point where it feels like it did before it started hurting, then the biggest question mark is out of the way,†Favre said.
Favre said Vikings coach Brad Childress wanted him to attend Minnesota’s recent organized team activities, but he declined.
