Favre broke the thumb in the Oct. 19 loss to the St. Louis Rams, and while he hasnt missed any action since, he said the thumb hasnt healed at all.
"Of all the injuries Ive had, this is the first broken bone," Favre said. "This is the first time it may require surgery during the offseason."

"Whenever I feel my thumb, I can feel the crack," Favre said. "That just makes my stomach turn."

"It will be after the season, unless something happened between now and then," Favre said. "I hope I dont re-injure it, but theres always the chance of that if I take the splint off.
