A Minnesota Vikings trainer visited Brett Favre on Sunday night in Mississippi to discuss exercises the quarterback can do to improve shoulder strength following arthroscopic surgery at the end of May, a source told ESPN's Ed Werder.
Favre has been assessing the condition of his arm and whether he is interested in coming out of retirement for a second straight year following his release from the New York Jets.
The Vikings aren't showing any public impatience with the NFL's all-time leading passer, even though Favre's annual waffling over his retirement continues to cloud preparations for the season. Training camp starts in six weeks.
Vikings coach Brad Childress had established a deadline of last week for Favre to make a decision on whether to be the team's quarterback this season. But Favre declined to make a commitment because he remains uncertain that the surgery has been completely successful.
Favre hasn't spoken publicly about the situation since he retired in January but is to appear Monday night on the premiere of "Joe Buck Live," an HBO sports show hosted by the longtime baseball and football announcer. HBO says Favre agreed in April to appear on the show at Buck's request.
