"Brett Favre has dealt with tendinitis in his throwing (right) elbow, a stress fracture in his left ankle and another fracture in his left heel, an issue with his calf and a 10-stitch cut on his chin this season. Now, it appears the quarterback might add his throwing shoulder to the list. Favre didn't mention it during his postgame news conference Sunday following a 27-13 loss to the Bears at Soldier Field, but he told ESPN that he now has pain in his right shoulder that could be related to surgery he had to repair a partially torn biceps tendon following the 2008 season. Favre, who threw for only 170 yards and had three interceptions on Sunday after passing for a career-high 446 yards the previous week against Arizona, told ESPN he had a sharp pain while putting on a T-shirt at practice Saturday and there was discussion about taking a pain-killing injection so he could play. That didn't happen. Favre, who said he didn't have pain during the game, did have the shoulder looked at by team doctors and expects to have it checked again Monday. Favre, 41, has started an NFL record 294 consecutive regular-season games, but it's realistic to wonder whether he will continue to play through pain if the Vikings (3-6) continue to free-fall. In his 20th NFL season, Favre has said this year will be it for him." http://www.startribune.com/sports/vikings/108043299.html?elr=KArksUUUhPi87EK_iaEYY_4Pc_yiiU
