According to Dr. James Andrews, Brett Favre still needs "a few more weeks" of rehab from offseason ankle surgery before deciding whether to play.
Andrews did confirm that Favre's surgery went well, but the decision to play in 2010 will apparently be based on how the ankle looks once it's fully healed. Favre had surgery on May 21, so he's currently 25 days into rehab.

The Vikings "internally" believe that Brett Favre won't rejoin the team until their third preseason game.
Favre is expected to skip the entirety of training camp practices, the first two preseason games, and make his return official in the third quarter of the third exhibition. It's similar to how Favre conducted his 2009 comeback.

Sure dreaming is allowed Cerberus but hallucinations can be down right dangerous.

"Its An Outrage"
Even if Favre decides to play in 2010 my bold prediction is he dont last the whole season and winds up on IR, the dude is old in NFL terms how much more punishment can he withstand from the DL LB half his age.

Even though I hate Favre more than any other human being alive, I doubt the dude gets IR. He's made of steel! Plus he gets all that extra rest by never freaking practicing!

Vikings DE Jared Allen believes is convinced that Brett Favre will play for the Vikings this year.
"If I was a betting man, and I had to put money on it today, absolutely," Allen said. "I hope if the answer was no, he would have already had the wherewithal to tell us that he's not coming back so we could have done something in free agency." Tarvaris Jackson must appreciate that vote of confidence.

I'm not so convinced that Farve cares enough about the Vikes to forwarn them that he isn't planning to return.

LOL. Poor kid

Agreed, Favre cares about himself and only himself when it comes to football. Not once has he given any team any clue on what he is doing until he is doing it. No kind of notice what so ever, so what makes J Allen think this time will be different? Think its more on hope than actually knowing. If the Viking organization would just come out and exempt Favre from practice then i think he would announce his intentions on coming back this season. He just doesnt want to practice.

Visanthe Shiancoe isn’t afraid to speak his mind, which makes him a captivating interview nearly every time, whether that’s for a print/web reporter or on national radio.
Shiancoe weighed in earlier this week on a couple of hot-button topics of late on offense during an interview with Sirius NFL Radio.
The first topic on the table was Brett Favre, the quarterback who helped create a career year for Shiancoe.

(Rotoworld) Although Brett Favre says he's healing well and would "love" to beat the Saints, he's also refusing to officially commit to another season with the Vikings. Analysis: "Hell, I want to know," said Favre. "But I am not going to press it. If I do not play, it does not cost the Vikings a dime. They keep the $13 million. ... I do know when it's over, it's over. It's not like being a dentist or playing golf, I can't play football forever." Regardless of Favre's hedging, we fully expect him to play at least one more season.

(FFChamps) Vikings QB Brett Favre told reporters he would like another chance to play for the Vikings this season. The Favre saga started after the NFC Championship game and will likely continue though Training Camp. Favre retired and then un-retired in 2008, did the same in 2009, but this year is different considering Favre never announced his retirement. Analysis: If Favre returns, everyone on the Vikings roster gets a boost in Fantasy potential. However, if Favre doesnt come back, Minnesotas receivers will likely see a decline in production with Tavaris Jackson at the helm.
