Brett Favre had gotten rid of the walking boot on his left foot Thursday as he made his way through the Vikings locker room and continued to seem optimistic that he might be able to do some work in prepartion for playing Sunday at New England.
"I wouldn't put anything past me to be honest with you," said Favre, who suffered a stress fracture in his left ankle and a fractured left heel on Sunday at Green Bay.
The 20-year veteran seemed in good spirits as he walked gingerly and sorted through his locker looking for a shoe. Favre was looking for a size-15 shoe for his left foot, something he would wear against the Patriots. That is exactly what Favre did in 2000 when he suffered a severly sprained left foot but played the next week and led the Packers to a 26-24 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Favre wears a size-14 shoe ordinarily.
As far as talking to coach Brad Childress in the past day to make a determination about playing, Favre said: "We haven't talked really. I've been getting treatment. I don't think that is an unusual thing with me [to not have discussed it yet.]"

Bill Belichick Expects Brett Favre To Play
As many of you know, Minnesota Vikings' quarterback Brett Favre has two minor fractures in his left ankle, and his playing status for Sunday's Halloween battle against New England is in jeopardy.
With Favre's injury looming, New England head coach, Bill Belichick, expects Favre to play Sunday.
“Of course,” Belichick said to the media Monday. “He's started 8,000 games in a row. Same thing we were all talking about with (Antonio) Gates last week. He wasn't going to play and all that. I don't think you can ever count players like that out."
However, I'm still going to be questioning Favre's status.
This is a perfect opportunity for Minnesota head coach, Brad Childress, to make a quarterback change.
After Minnesota's Sunday night loss against Green Bay, Childress publicly criticized Favre's decision making, and he put some thought into pulling Favre due to his poor performance.
This is not the first time Favre and Childress have butted heads, so this might be a perfect time for Childress to make the switch to quarterback Tarvaris Jackson.
There has been no word on Favre's injury besides him being in a boot, and his status for Sunday is being described as questionable.
