Vikings QB Favre Inactive Vs. Eagles
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Brett Favre is inactive for the Minnesota Vikings' game Tuesday night with the Philadelphia Eagles because of a concussion.
Favre will not play for the second time in three weeks because of injury. He sat out a Dec. 13 game against the New York Giants because of an injured right shoulder, ending his record consecutive starts streak at 297, dating back to 1992.
The 41-year-old Favre suffered a concussion last week against the Chicago Bears and was listed as doubtful.
Joe Webb will make his first career NFL start.
Not even an extra 48 hours could help Favre. The Vikings-Eagles game was switched from Sunday night to Tuesday night because of a winter storm.
Vikings interim coach Leslie Frazier said on Monday that Favre still hadn't passed initial testing.
