EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. - The latest injury Brett Favre must fight to maintain his record durability streak is a pulled groin muscle. Back from his bye week, Favre said he believes he’ll be fine.
Favre said he was hurt in practice while rolling out during a drill two weeks ago and aggravated the injury in pregame warm-ups at Green Bay on Nov. 1.
The Vikings didn’t play last week, giving their 40-year-old quarterback extra time to heal.
“It was a concern for the game. I made it through. With a week’s rest I think I’ll be fine,” Favre said Wednesday. “But I’m not going to make it a bigger issue than it is. It’s kind of a new thing for me. To play
18 some-odd years and not have anything like that that probably worried me more than anything. But I think I’ll be fine.”
Favre said the injury bothered him during the Packers game, but “not as bad” as he feared it might. He told coach Brad Childress, offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell and backup quarterback Tarvaris Jackson to be ready in case he couldn’t finish the game.
With four more games, Favre will pass former Vikings defensive lineman Jim Marshall and set the NFL record for a non-kicker with 283 consecutive regular season games played.
The Vikings (7-1) host Detroit (1-7) on Sunday.
