ESPN cites unnamed sources in reporting that Favre will need arthroscopic surgery to repair the injury, but could also play without having an operation. The 39-year-old Favre routinely underthrew receivers and appeared to lose some velocity on his throws late in the season as the Jets went 1-4 down the stretch and failed to make the playoffs. Favre's agent, James "Bus" Cook, did not immediately respond to e-mail and phone messages left by The Associated Press seeking comment. After the Jets' season-ending 24-17 loss to Miami on Sunday, Favre said he's been feeling discomfort in his strong right arm "for quite a while." He also complained of pain in the back of the shoulder, the biceps and sometimes in his neck. (Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.) |
