Jets quarterback Brett Favre reportedly has a torn biceps tendon
News: Jets quarterback Brett Favre reportedly has a torn biceps tendon in his right arm that will not need major surgery to repair, ESPN said Tuesday. The 39-year-old Favre routinely underthrew receivers and appeared to lose some velocity on his throws late in the season as the Jets went 1-4 down the stretch and failed to make the playoffs. Citing unnamed sources, the report adds that Favre would need arthroscopic surgery to repair the injury, but could also play without having an operation. After the Jets' season-ending 24-17 loss to Miami on Sunday, Favre said he's been feeling discomfort in his strong right arm "for quite a while." He also complained of pain in the back of the shoulder, the biceps and sometimes in his neck. Favre, who also reportedly has some calcification in the area of the injury, is expected to take several weeks to decide whether he will return to the Jets. [...]

Ed Werder, of ESPN.com, reports New York Jets QB Brett Favre
Ed Werder, of ESPN.com, reports New York Jets QB Brett Favre (biceps) has been told by doctors that pain in his right shoulder is from a torn biceps tendon and some calcification in the area. However, Favre will not need anything more than arthroscopic surgery to repair the injury, sources said. The tear is located near the acromioclavicular joint. Favre also might be able to avoid an arthroscopic procedure altogether if he decides to play a 19th NFL season. This development suggests Favre can avoid any major surgery. He had previously indicated he was unwilling to undergo numerous surgeries if they were necessary to keep playing.

Brett Favre will have an MRI exam Monday on his ailing right
News: Brett Favre will have an MRI exam Monday on his ailing right shoulder, a procedure that will help the 39-year-old QB decide whether he'll return for another season with the New York Jets. Favre said he's been feeling discomfort in his rocket right arm "for quite a while" and struggled down the stretch with nine interceptions and only two touchdowns in his last five games. He was intercepted three times in the Jets' 24-17 season-ending loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. He appeared to hurt his shoulder trying to stop Philip Merling from returning a second-quarter interception, but stayed in the game. "It hurts in the back (of the shoulder), hurts down in the biceps and, occasionally, in my neck," Favre said. "Other than that, it's fine." Favre, who insists he hasn't yet decided if he'll come back for his 19th NFL season, wants to see what the exam shows before determining anything. "It didn't feel like it should, I do know that," Favre said of his shoulder. "Whether or not it requires surgery, depending on what it would be, that's something else I would have to weigh on whether or not, first of all, I would want surgery. Second of all, if I need it, would I play or not? It's one of those things. I'm 39, I don't want to have to have a bunch of surgeries to continue playing. I really don't know what it would show."

News: Brett Favre insists he hasn't decided whether he'll return to the New York Jets next season, but says the health of his right arm could be a factor. The 39-year-old quarterback has struggled for several weeks, with one touchdown and six interceptions. Favre's arm strength doesn't appear to be what it was earlier this season. That has led to speculation his right shoulder may be ailing, and Favre did little to dispel that notion Wednesday. "During the course of the year, there was numerous times where I'd been asked about my shoulder and it had been hit a couple of times," Favre said. "I don't know. I mean, just knowing my body, there may be something, but there's no test yet to reveal anything." [...]

Jets | Favre wearing down?Rich Cimini, of The New York Daily
Jets | Favre wearing down?Rich Cimini, of The New York Daily News, reports New York Jets QB Brett Favre looks shot. At 39, it is very possible Favre is wearing down near the end of the season. He attempted to hit WR Jerricho Cotchery deep during Week 15, but he couldn\'t get the ball to him and it was intercepted. \"Maybe I don\'t have the arm I once had. I don\'t know,\" Favre said after the game. Over the last three games, he has hit 57.7 percent of his passes in a dink-and-dunk passing game. Against the Buffalo Bills in Week 15, Favre struggled with his accuracy on short and intermediate passes, too. Head coach Eric Mangini said he assumes Favre will cycle back after a recent slump that has him with a 61.0 quarterback rating. Favre has never lost the final two games of the regular season during his career.

John Crumpacker, of the San Francisco Chronicle, reports New
John Crumpacker, of the San Francisco Chronicle, reports New York Jets WR Laveranues Coles sounded almost bitter during a conference call about having QB Brett Favre in New York. \"We\'re in a quarterback-driven offense where he pretty much has control of everything, where before the offense was pretty much driven through me. ... I just kind of become a role player instead of a guy that teams had to prepare for,\" Coles said regarding changes in the offense. Coles also said that \"there is no level of importance\" when they do throw the ball, \"where at one point it used to be I was the guy.\" Finally, he said Favre\'s arm is not even as strong as the Jugs machine and that \"most of the guys who deserve the credit\" for their turnaround aren\'t getting it.
Jets wideout Laveranues Coles doesn't seem to be a big fan
Jets wideout Laveranues Coles doesn't seem to be a big fan of quarterback Brett Favre, reports the San Francisco Chronicle. According to the paper, Coles had plenty to say on the veteran QB, such as "I catch balls from the Jugs machine. The ball probably comes out harder from there than it does from anywhere else," and "Of course he's the big name, he's the Hall of Famer, he's going to get the majority of the credit but most of the guys who deserve the credit don't really get it."Coles is upset due to his lack of involvement in the offense, but he does have 55 catches for 615 yards and six scores. Coles has a pretty good matchup with San Francisco today, but based on these comments, we're not so sure Favre will be looking at Coles in his first read.
