Favre, who handled all the snaps with the starting offense, didnt talk to the media after the session was over.
Favre returned to Mississippi following the game Monday night. The funeral, which was attended by Sherman, other Packers officials and backup quarterback Doug Pederson, a close friend of the Favre family, was Wednesday.
Sherman excused Brett from practice Wednesday and Thursday. Favres arrival at team headquarters at Lambeau Field on Friday morning was low-key. Players and coaches, alike, were respectful in their conversations with Favre on the field and in post-practice meetings.
