Favre will play a series or two, ideally about 10 snaps.

"That's about all he needs right now and all he's ready for right now," Childress said

Favre returned to the Vikings on Tuesday after spending much of the summer debating a return to the NFL after offseason surgery on his left ankle.

He first practiced with the team on Wednesday and by all accounts, has looked fine.

"I think he's doing a good job of rounding into it," Childress said. "We haven't chased him around yet. We're saving that for later."

Childress told The Star Tribune that Tarvaris Jackson will enter the game after Favre and play past halftime, followed by Sage Rosenfels.

Favre has said this will be his 20th and final season.

After reading Peter Kings "Monday Morning Quarterback",I find myself wondering,"Do Wilf and Childress actually have to fellate

Favre themselves,do they just let the media take care of it,or does the team actually have people on call to blow Brett?"

I guess it doesn't matter as long as we all recognize Brett Favre is "THE GREATEST QB WHO EVER LIVED"
