Both Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers will be sitting on the sidelines with their respective injuries. Favre had surgery in late February to remove bone spurs in his ankle that he said had been hindering him for quite some time. He's been rehabilitating at home and the Packers don't feel a need to push him.  "I don't think it makes a whole lot of sense (for Favre) to do a whole lot," Coach Mike McCarthy said, "especially where he is as far as the time frame in his workouts."Rodger is also recovering from an injury that required surgery. He broke his foot in a November 19th game against the New England Patriots that resulted in an operation to repair the fifth metatarsal in his left foot. Coach McCarthy thinks he's a bit closer than Favre.  "We're at that decision time for him," McCarthy said. "When do you finally just take the reins off and let him go? He's very close." The good news is that both quarterbacks are on the mend and should be 100% long before the preseason begins. :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:</blockquote>
