Favre is questionable for Sunday's Cowboys game

Quarterback Brett Favre is listed as questionable for Minnesota's game Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.

Favre had limited participation in practice this week for the Vikings while trying to rest his ailing right elbow, which has been bothered by tendinitis.

Coach Brad Childress said Friday he would give his quarterback the 50-50 designation on the injury report and that a final decision on Favre's status would be made before the game Sunday afternoon.

Favre said this week he'd consider sitting out to rest if necessary, but worse injuries haven't kept him from playing in the past. Favre has started an NFL-record 289 straight regular season games.
