Brett Favre expects to play despite lingering effects of injury

Despite still feeling the effects of a possible slight concussion and pinched nerve in his neck, Brett Favre expects to play Sunday against St. Louis.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback hasn't thrown a football since he was hit hard in Monday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Favre was considering participating in the Packers' practice session on Wednesday even though he feels some pain when he turns his head a certain way.

He spent time in the steam room on Tuesday, but can't do much else to heal.

``It's a pinched nerve and maybe a slight concussion, but there's nothing you can do for it,'' he said Wednesday.

Favre left Monday night's loss late in the game after absorbing a hard hit from defensive lineman Juqua Thomas.

Favre, who has started an NFL quarterback record 245 straight games including playoffs, will be listed as probable on the team's injury report.
