Minnesota Vikings

Brett Favre is back from the Minnesota Vikings' bye week, saying he believes his pulled groin will be fine.

The latest sign of how well this Brett-Favre-at-quarterback season is going for the Vikings came on Sunday, when Green Bay and Chicago both lost and dropped three games behind Minnesota (7-1) with eight weeks left.

Antoine Winfield did some light work in practice today, which is a good sign for the much-missed defender. Also limited in practice were Brett Favre (hip/groin), E.J. Henderson (knee), and Bernard Berrian (hamstring). It is nice to see that the bye week allowed the Vikings injury report to get considerably smaller.
