Packers quarterback Brett Favre is expected to start against the Raiders Dec. 9 and keep alive his record streak for consecutive starts.
"Just to quote the medical staff, his streak is not in danger. He'll be OK," coach Mike McCarthy said a day after Favre was knocked out of the Packers' 37-27 loss at Dallas with elbow and shoulder injuries.
The streak, which dates to 1992, stands at 249 games (269 including playoffs) and is a league record for quarterbacks.
The 38-year-old Favre was at Lambeau Field for treatment of a bruised right elbow. He also aggravated a left shoulder separation, which he injured 15 years ago.
Peterson probable
Running back Adrian Peterson is probable for the Vikings' game against the Lions tomorrow after he missed two games because of a torn lateral collateral ligament in his right knee . . . Marvin Harrison likely will miss another game when the Colts host the Jaguars tomorrow. The perennial Pro Bowl receiver has not practiced all week while recovering from a bruised left knee . . . Donovan McNabb (ankle, thumb) is doubtful for the Eagles' game against Seattle tomorrow after missing practice again . . . Jets receiver Jerricho Cotchery was ruled out for tomorrow's game because of an injured right index finger . . . Quarterback Brodie Croyle (back) will miss the Chiefs' game tomorrow and Damon Huard will start in his place.
