MANKATO (AP) — While Brett Favre waffles in Mississippi, his presumptive teammates are sweating through training camp in Minnesota.

It’s business as usual for the Vikings.

Two veteran quarterbacks, Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels, are in limbo, trying to prepare for the season while answering questions about being a placeholder for Favre. They’ve done it before, and say it hasn’t been a distraction even through all the twists and turns this week.

Favre’s agent, Bus Cook, said Wednesday that Favre will play if his surgically repaired ankle is healthy enough. That news came less than 24 hours after a player said Favre was texting teammates and officials in the organization to say he was planning to retire.

Jackson, who would be the starter if Favre couldn’t return, smiled and cracked a joke about all of the developments, clearly comfortable in the middle of the situation again.
