tests he is scheduled to undergo this morning on his twisted left knee will reveal minimal damage. All the Packers know right now is that Favre's knee is stable, he doesn't appear to have any damage to his anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments and he has suffered only minimal amounts of swelling. Tests could reveal more damage than they suspect, but for right now they think they might have dodged a bullet. "Everything is strong. The structure of his knee is fine. There's no looseness. Everybody is very, very positive." The saving grace might have been the fact his knee bent outward instead of inward, which according to some of the players usually results in the most damage. The focus of team physician Patrick McKenzie's evaluation appeared to be on Favre's lateral collateral ligament, which appears to be sprained. The degree of the sprain, which is the same thing as a tear, is what will determine Favre's future. Hanging in the balance is Favre's string of 164 consecutive starts, the most for any quarterback in National Football League history and the most of any active player. The Packers are fortunate to have a bye next Sunday. Their next game is not until Monday, Nov. 4, against Miami.
