The Vikings quarterback had his surgically repaired ankle checked by Dr, James Andrews last Friday. Favre said he would return for his 20th season if his ankle is healthy.  It has been bothering him since the surgery.

Favre has not been seen in days at Oak Grove High where he was working out with high school players.

The Vikings play the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome for the first game of the season.
