NFL Football Players Draft Injuries Rookies Season SuperbowlPublished: June 8, 2009
In February, Favre announced he would finally be calling it quits. An 18-year NFL career seemed over after his Jets lost to Miami in the 2008 season finale.
However, according to Chris Mortensen and Ed Werder of ESPN.com, Favre had arthroscopic shoulder surgery on his throwing arm in May. Favre has now left the door open for a possible return to the NFL.
The shoulder injury hampered his ability to throw the ball late in the season, and the Jets went from first to third in the AFC East in just four weeks, missing the playoffs.
He said it was over, his agent said it was over, the Jets thought it was over, and yet America was skeptical. After all, this was the man who has retired and come out of retirement again and again the past four seasons.
