Vikings coach Brad Childress revealed Monday that Brett Favre has been diagnosed with two fractures in his left ankle.
Favre has an "avulsion" fracture (when a ligament separates a piece of bone from the primary bone) and a stress fracture in ankle, which was surgically repaired this offseason. Coach Brad Childress won't rule out Favre for Week 8 against New England, but also said Favre's consecutive starts streak will have no impact on his playing status. According to beat writer Tom Pelissero, it "sure sounds like there's a real danger of him missing this game." Favre won't need another surgery, but is currently in a protective walking boot.
