Brett Favre still hasn't passed his concussion test and his status for Minnesota's season finale remains in doubt. Favre hasn't been able to play in two of the team's last three games. "We'd love to see him play," interim coach Leslie Frazier said. "There's no question about that." Friday will likely be the cutoff date for Favre if he isn't able to pass the required tests.

Pat Williams is one of 17 veteran members of the Vikings who will likely become free agents this offseason. "They're going to be rebuilding around here, it's going to be kind of rough," Williams said on Thursday. "They've got about 20 free agents on this team. It will be real rough."

The snow-damaged roof of the Metrodome won't be fixed until sometime in March. The delay will affect hundreds of college baseball games and the annual Twins Fest. Lester says about 300 baseball games were scheduled to be played in the dome in February and March, including about 40 University of Minnesota games and 250 small college games.

Brett Favre has been fined $50,000 by the NFL for a "failure to cooperate" with the investigation into allegations he sent inappropriate messages to former Jets game-day hostess Jenn Sterger. The league said commissioner Roger Goodell "could not conclude" that Favre violated the league's personal conduct policy based on the evidence currently available to him. "The forensic analysis could not establish that Favre sent the objectionable photographs to Sterger," the statement said. "The review found no evidence to contradict the statements of both Favre and Sterger that they never met in person, nor was there anything to suggest that Sterger engaged in any inappropriate conduct." The league's investigation began in October and the fine was announced Wednesday.

Brett Favre will start at quarterback in Minnesota's season finale on Sunday if he's healthy. The Vikings upset the Eagles 24-14 on Tuesday night thanks in large part to the play of rookie Joe Webb. "If Brett can go, Brett will be our quarterback for sure, if he were able to pass the concussion test," interim coach Leslie Frazier said. "So it wouldn't be an issue for me or our team if Brett were able to go."

Brett Favre isn't expected to start on Tuesday night when the Vikings take on the Eagles in Philadelphia. Favre has not passed a concussion test and a team official told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio on Monday no test is planned before the game. Rookie Joe Webb is expected to start for Minnesota.

The Eagles' game with the Minnesota Vikings in Philadelphia has been postponed until 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday because of public-safety concerns related to a blizzard, the team announced Sunday. The blizzard is expected to dump up to 20 inches of snow in Philadelphia, where the Vikings were scheduled to play the Eagles on Sunday night. NBC will televise the game on Tuesday evening.

Sources say the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission is assessing the viability of playing the 2011 season outdoors at TCF Bank Stadium at the University of Minnesota, the stadium that hosted the Vikings' game against the Chicago Bears when the Metrodome roof was damaged by heavy snow. The commission will deliver its findings to the Vikings in late January or early February. After reviewing the findings, owner Zigi Wilf will make a decision in consultation with the NFL on whether to play the 2011 season at the Metrodome or TCF Bank Stadium, according to team and league sources.

Brett Favre missed a second consecutive day of practice Thursday because he failed to pass his baseline concussion test again. Still, Minnesota won't rule the quarterback out for their game against Philadelphia on Sunday night.

The Vikings have officially listed Brett Favre as doubtful for Sunday night's game against the Eagles. Favre is dealing with a concussion, but Minnesota is leaving the door open for him to play. The team listed him as "out" a week ago, but upgraded him to questionable the day of the game and he ended up starting against the Bears. "No 'out' with Brett Favre," Leslie Frazier said. "Will not use that term."
