Brett Favre Ankle

Brett Favre had surgery last week on the ankle he injured during the NFC Championship game against the New Orleans Saints. Does this point to a Favre return, once again this season? He had shoulder surgery before announcing his return last year. The one thing we know is that until Brett Favre says he's retired, we still won't know anything.

Brett Favre Ankle Surgery

Brett Favre confirmed reports May 20 on his website, but didn't make mention of the possibility of a comeback. Noted orthopedic specialist Dr. James Andrews performed the arthroscopic procedure on Favre's ankle. Favre is definitely out 4-6 weekes to rehab the ankle.

"This is to confirm that I did have a procedure to remove some scar tissue and bone spurs from my ankle which had been bothering me for a period of time," Favre's statement on his website said. "I appreciate your concerns."

It was mentioned many times before that Brett has had this surgery in the past. Only time will tell if he will be dressed in purple this season.

Brett Favre Retirement?

If Brett has made a decision, his lips are sealed. But we know that he has spoke with Coach Brad Childress multiple times this offseason. Though the money isn't guaranteed like last year, there are 13 million reasons why Brett could decide to return. I know it's not like he needs the money, but athletes play in the NFL to get paid. Favre would most likely miss training camp and other off-season workouts like he did last year.

Until the great gunslinger actually sits out a year, I won't count him out.
