Favre gets first chance at 2-minute drill

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — Chances are Brett Favre wasn’t watching the Green Bay Packers’ first preseason game without him Monday night.
Favre didn’t speak to reporters at New York Jets training camp on Monday, but Jets coach Eric Mangini said Favre probably wouldn’t have any free time to watch the Packers’ nationally televised game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

“He won’t be free tonight,” Mangini said during his pre-practice news conference.

Favre appears to be settling in. On his third day of practice with the Jets, Favre got his first crack at running the 2-minute drill. Starting at his 30-yard line, Favre completed 4-of-5 passes and capped the drive with a 31-yard touchdown pass to receiver Laveranues Coles.

Earlier in the practice, Favre threw his first interception since the one Giants cornerback Corey Webster picked off in overtime of the NFC title game at Lambeau Field. Trying to hit former Packers receiver David Clowney on a go route, Favre unleashed a deep ball, but Jets safety Kerry Rhodes broke to the ball and hauled in a one-handed interception. That was Favre’s first interception in three days of 11-on-11 drills in practice. He did throw an interception on Saturday, but it was during a 7-on-7 period.

Things seemingly have returned to normal for the Jets on Monday after a deluge of media and fans over the weekend. Less than a dozen beat writers and only a handful of camera crews were on hand.

“Back to the way things were,” Mangini said. “It’s nice.”
