Favre still a game-time decision

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. - Brett Favre still hasn't been able to throw a proper pass in practice, and the Minnesota Vikings still haven't given up hope their quarterback will extend his NFL record for consecutive starts against the Giants on Sunday.

Favre did minimal work in practice Friday for the first time all week, making a few soft tosses to test out the sprained SC joint in his right shoulder. He is listed as questionable on the injury report and will be a game-time decision on whether he will make his 298th straight regular-season start.

Interim coach Leslie Frazier said the 41-year-old will have to show the team he can make all the throws during a pregame workout Sunday to get clearance to play.

"We would have to see him make some of the throws he'd have to make in the game, and he understands that," Frazier said. "So, we'll take a look on Sunday morning and see."

Favre was unavailable to reporters Friday, but said earlier this week he does not want to compromise the Vikings' ability to beat the Giants in order to keep his streak alive, no matter how much pride he takes in the achievement.
