NFL: Mangini anticipates Favre to play Sunday

By DENNIS WASZAK Jr.
AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — Brett Favre's playing streak appears safe.

The New York quarterback rolled his left ankle during the third quarter of the Jets' 48-29 loss at San Diego on Monday night, but coach Eric Mangini wasn't overly concerned about Favre's injury.

"Brett usually plays," Mangini said Tuesday, "and I would anticipate the same."

Favre was limping noticeably after the injury and in the locker room after the game. He has started an NFL-record 256 straight regular-season games, and is expected to start Sunday at home against Arizona.
