Teams have released their Week 10 practice participation reports through Wednesday. Here’s a look at some notable developments.

Brett Favre once again showed the Packers that he still can play — this time at Lambeau Field — then immediately let his feelings flow.

Brett Favre spoke Wednesday about making his first trip back to Lambeau Field as a member of the enemy. And, as expected, he tried to downplay the hoopla that surrounds Sunday’s Vikings-Packers game.

Kansas City Star columnist Jason Whitlock writes that the Larry Johnson distraction is just what Haley and general manager Scott Pioli need, and that the problems Johnson is causing are no reason to cut the guy.

Vikings WR Sidney Rice has become the top option for QB Brett Favre.

Brett Favre to is playing very well, and the reason is as simple as A-B-C. Teams are rightfully locked in to Adrian Peterson in the form of eight-man fronts. Therefore, it is easier for Favre to recognize in his pre-snap surveillance which receiver has man coverage.

The Nov. 1 kickoff times for the Giants-Eagles and Vikings-Packers games have been flipped because of logistical issues in Philadelphia should the Phillies be in the World Series, the NFL announced Tuesday.

In my Around the League segment today on NFL Total Access, I talked about last night’s showdown between the Packers and Vikings, including the play of both quarterbacks and Jared Allen’s performance.
