Favre has four plays in Vikings' loss to 49ers
Brett Favre completed one pass and also got clobbered on a sack that lost Minnesota 10 yards.
Favre's highly anticipated first game back with the Vikings lasted all of four unspectacular plays and one series in a 15-10 loss to the 49ers in a nationally televised preseason game last night at San Francisco's Candlestick Park.
Favre completed a 13-yard pass to Adrian Peterson on his first play from scrimmage but was sacked by Pro Bowl linebacker Patrick Willis two plays later and the Vikings wound up punting. The 40-year-old quarterback took the field just four days after his first training camp practice of the year.
The Seattle Seahawks have signed former San Francisco wide receiver Brandon Jones, a year after he signed a lucrative deal with the 49ers. San Francisco was hoping Jones could develop into one of Alex Smith's favorite targets after missing much of the 2009 season with a broken bone in his shoulder.
Sam Bradford could take over as the St. Louis Rams' starting quarterback in the next preseason game, although the promotion would be by default.
A.J. Feeley injured his thumb and elbow in the first quarter of a 19-17 victory at Cleveland on Saturday night, and was scheduled for an MRI on the thumb. Coach Steve Spagnuolo said Feeley had a "tingling sensation" up his arm after a throw. X-rays on the elbow were negative.
Cincy gets safety White
The Bengals have added safety Marvin White, signing the former fourth-round pick two days after Gibril Wilson was injured. The Bengals were hoping that Wilson would provide depth at the position. He hurt his left knee during a preseason game Friday night against Philadelphia. - AP
