Brett Favre’s injury is not as serious as it initially appeared when he was hit hard in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Patriots. Although Favre had to be helped off the field, the Vikings announced that he only sustained a laceration to his chin and received eight stitches after being carted off.

Brett Favre’s ankle has been diagnosed with two separate fractures in his left ankle, and at this moment it looks like his status for Sunday’s game against the Patriots is unknown.

The MRI showed an avulsion fracture which takes place when a tendon or ligament pulls off a piece of the bone and a stress fracture, coach Brad Childress said. As we all know that Favre who is 41, has now played in 291 consecutive games. It will be hard to count him out depending what they have to shoot him up with in order to play through the pain.

Right now surgery is not required and Childress has said Once he’s functional he can play but he wouldn’t rule anything out in terms of the end of the week. At the moment they don’t have a time frame on the situation, at the moment Favre is wearing a walking boot.

Right now Childress says they have to do what’s right for the Vikings and Favre’s streak will not determine their decision on whether to play him against the Patriots. On Sunday Favre threw three interceptions against the Packers, and he hurt his ankle when he was hit on one of the interceptions.

Brett Favre has told ESPN networks that he will require surgery on his left ankle in order for him to play next season with the Minnesota Vikings. Its been reported that Favre is deciding whether to have the procedure or retire after 19 seasons.

Favre stated that the “sense of belonging” he felt in a Minnesota Vikings uniform, makes his decision just that more difficult. Otherwise, he says, it would be easy to quit.

The injury that Favre suffered happened three months ago in the NFC Championship Game. The main concern is it still causes swelling and pain and that an operation is unavoidable. Favre’s agent Bus Cook didn’t immediately return messages left by The Associated Press.

Vikings coach Brad Childress is expected to talk with reporters after the team’s rookie minicamp later Friday.
