FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) – Brett Favre has extended his record consecutive starts streak to 292 games despite two fractures in his left foot.
Favre injured his ankle and heel in last week’s loss at Green Bay. But after a week of treatment and even some practice time Friday, he was in the starting lineup Sunday against the New England Patriots.
The 41-year-old Favre has both a stress fracture and an avulsion fracture in the foot. The avulsion fracture in the heel bone is where a fragment has been torn away by a tendon or ligament.
He stood with a ski cap on his head watching New England’s opening series, then picked up his helmet and headed onto the field for yet another start.
