Favre Shut Down With Sore Shoulder

Brett Favre wont be doing any heavy throwing again for a while. Swinging a softball bat also might pose a challenge. The Green Bay Packers quarterback said Thursday that he has a sore right shoulder — his throwing shoulder — which prematurely ended his participation in the organized team activities.
"I probably could practice, but it really don't make a lot of sense to go out and make it any worse," Favre said. "I think it's probably just tendinitis or something like that."
The team held Favre out of practice Wednesday and Thursday.
Coach Mike McCarthy said the medical staff doesn't consider the injury to be serious.
Favre, however, won't be on the field next Monday and Tuesday, when the Packers conclude their workouts.
That means Favre will have been on the field for seven of the 12 organizied-team-activity practices, which have been spread out over three weeks. He also was held out of the first workout May 30.
Despite the physical setback, McCarthy was pleased with Favre's work both on and off the field as the team turns its sights to the start of training camp in late July.
"The biggest thing we got out of Brett being here No. 1 is to be around the younger guys (and) doing the adjustments we've made in our scheme getting ready for the season," McCarthy said. "I was late for practice today because I was with Brett going through some of the red-zone and third-down adjustments that weve made, just finalizing that and making sure were on the same page."

The results from being pushed by a personal trainer have been to Favres liking. He said he is at an ideal weight of 220, which is a far cry from the pounds he carried early in his career. Favre recalled being as heavy as 245 in 1993, his first full year as Green Bays starter.
"When we won the Super Bowl (in the 1996 season), I was 236. I probably had a little different weight on me at the time," Favre said with a knowing smile.
His well-chronicled days of drinking are long behind him.
"I feel good. I've taken better care of myself, not great, but better care of myself," Favre said. "I have to admit I kind of eat what I want, I just don't eat a lot of it. I don't kill myself in the weight room or (doing) cardio, but I do enough, and as training camp gets closer, increase it a little bit more."
