Vikings Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 19:15:32 PDT

The Vikings continue to wait for Brett Favre, hoping he will soon end his months-old retirement to play for them this season.

The quarterback called it quits last February after one year with the Jets but for the second consecutive offseason it appears his desire is to continue. The biggest factor in Favre's decision will be whether he feels his throwing arm is sound enough for him to play a 19th season in the NFL.

He underwent an arthroscopic procedure to repair a partially torn biceps in late May. The process of Favre playing in Minnesota is far enough down the road that he reportedly has agreed to a contract with the Vikings, although it has yet to be signed.

Favre and the Vikings both agree that a decision is going to need to be made before the team reports...
