Favre Sits Out Practice At Sherman's Request
10th November, 2005 - 3:57 pm
ESPN - Brett Favre took a day off at the coach's request. He didn't try to argue.

"I just kind of feel lethargic," the three-time MVP said Wednesday. "I could have practiced, I would have been fine. It would have been tough."

The Packers haven't been 1-7 since Favre was 17 -- and he never lost more than eight games in any of his previous 13 seasons in Green Bay.

Green Bay has used 11 rookies this season, mainly because the battered offense lost three of its top players -- running backs Ahman Green (thigh tendon) and Najeh Davenport (ankle) and wide receiver Javon Walker (knee) -- for the year with injuries. Pro Bowl tight end Bubba Franks (knee) missed three starts, and Pro Bowl center Mike Flanagan (sports hernia) missed two more. [READ]
