Brett Favre's career isn't quite over
yet. Minnesota Vikings interim coach Leslie Frazier says the team
is hoping to have Favre back this season - and possibly this week.


      Favre's NFL-record streak of starting 297 straight games ended
when a sprained throwing shoulder and numb hand kept him out of
Monday's game against the New York Giants.


      Frazier said Tuesday that an ultrasound on Favre's neck and
shoulder showed no nerve damage. He said the 41-year-old
quarterback's pain was subsiding and that his recovery was "headed
in the right direction."


      Frazier said placing Favre on injured reserve wasn't "part of
the equation" for now.


      Backup Tarvaris Jackson has a turf toe injury, and his
availability is in doubt for Monday night's game against the
Chicago Bears.
