Brett Favre spent about eight minutes on the snow-covered field Monday night at TCF Bank Stadium testing out his injured throwing arm under the watchful eye of head athletic trainer Eric Sugarman and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell.

Favre was listed as "out" for this game on the injury report Saturday but in a surprise move was upgraded to "questionable" today. Favre threw about 15 passes that ranged from 10 to 35 yards (10, 15, 18, 20 and 35 yards).

His final pass was a 35-yard fade from the 50-yard line that went to the near sideline. After throwing that pass he talked with Sugarman and Co. Now a decision will be made on if Favre can play in tonight's game.
