The other three quarterbacks in Tampa Bay have received considerable attention, for various reasons, but Josh Johnson has flashed his potential, too.

Taking a look at some of my little known gems from Week 1 of the preason, including rookies Aaron Brown and Ellis Lankster.

The Vikings now have four quarterbacks on their roster, and NFL execs I spoke to told me they anticipate Tarvaris Jackson being shopped in the near future now that Brett Favre is in town.

Veteran free agent RB Warrick Dunn has had teams reach out to him, but is awaiting further options before deciding on a return to the NFL.

Irony, a twist of fate or just poetic justice? Call it what you want, but while Bret Favre’s return is dripping with revenge and the lust to beat his former team, the questions remain: How much does Favre improve the Vikings, and how will the Green Bay Packers compete against their former savior?

When Brett Favre took the practice field for the Vikings today, he carried with him a throwing arm that has “a little rotator cuff tear,” his agent, Bus Cook, said on Tuesday.

Falcons third-year defensive end Jamal Anderson could be in jeopardy of losing his starting job. Anderson, the eighth overall pick in 2007, is being pushed by fifth-year veteran Chauncey Davis, who has been consistently better against the run and pass during training camp, a team source said.

Do not panic America, Brett Favre, took the practice field at the Vikings’ Winter Park practice facility wearing his familiar No. 4 jersey. The former No. 4 — backup QB John David Booty — has switched to No. 9.

Check the Vikings practice facility in the near future to see if Booty is driving a new car.

When I look at Brett Favre on the Minnesota Vikings — ignoring all of the obvious things — what I see is the Vikings getting better in the red zone and on third downs. Really, Favre makes the entire offense better, and opposing defenses will no longer be able to take liberties against the Vikings.

Brett Favre is back – not that he ever officially left – and all is right in the world again.

Packers fans were watching a team walk-through when news came across TV monitors inside the Lambeau Field Atrium that Brett Favre was on his way to Minnesota. Not many of them were surprised.

Brett Favre’s presence will help the fantasy value of receivers Bernard Berrian, Sidney Rice, Percy Harvin and tight end Visanthe Shiancoe. Look at Favre as a viable No. 2 fantasy quarterback and worth a middle- to late-round selection.

There have been about a half-dozen fights in practice — including three in one session — since training camp opened on Aug. 1.

This summer, the Packers have been using the newly renovated Ray Nitschke Field for training camp.

Brett Favre and the Vikings were deep in negotiations on a contract as of Monday night, according to a league source, “with all signs pointing to a contract getting done very soon.”
