Favre not likely to play
August 27, 2008
While Eagles coach Andy Reid said he is still mulling a decision on whether to play Donovan McNabb and other first-teamers Thursday night in the preseason finale, New York Jets coach Eric Mangini seemed closer to a decision.
According to a posting on the Jets' official Web site, ''The coach didn't declare that QB Brett Favre will sit out the Eagles game but that's the direction he's headed.''
''It would be safe to say that I'm leaning towards that,'' the report quoted Mangini as saying.
