Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre, who sustained a concussion in the third quarter of the Packers' 14-7 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday, is OK but will be held out of practice until Thursday. Results of a concussion test Monday have not come back. the legend continues to grow: Favre was hurt when Giants defensive lineman William Joseph knocked him to the ground. Favre, whose head bounced off the grass, sat out two plays before returning to throw a 28-yard touchdown pass to Javon Walker on fourth-and-5. After celebrating the touchdown with Walker, Favre was summoned to the sideline, where medical personnel said he displayed signs of a concussion. "Well, he was standing there on the sideline. I said, 'Are you OK?' He said yes. So, I put him back in," Sherman said. "He threw the touchdown pass and then the doctors told me after that they didn't want him back in the ballgame. "The doctors hadn't necessarily cleared him, so I was in error in putting him back in there." Favre's TD, however, extended his streak to 29 consecutive games with at least one scoring pass, third-longest in NFL history behind Dan Marino's 30 and Johnny Unitas' 47.
