Childress leaning

"Brett Favre appears to have every intention of starting at quarterback for the Vikings on Sunday in New England, despite having a stress fracture in his left ankle and another fracture in the same heel.

Favre was held out of practice again Thursday, meaning if he doesn't practice Friday he will go into the game cold.
According to an NFL source, Childress is leaning toward having Tarvaris Jackson open Sunday at quarterback -- a move that would end Favre's NFL-record streak of 291 consecutive starts. Favre, custom nfl jerseys

Favre is hoping to do some on-field work Friday.
"I wouldn't put anything past me to be honest with you," he said about possibly practicing Friday.
