    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Andy Reid figured something must have been wrong if old pal Brett Favre didn't say hello to him on the field after their game Monday night.So the Philadelphia Eagles coach called Favre on Tuesday to make sure he was OK.''I said, 'Yeah, one of your guys cheap-shotted me,' which is not true,'' Favre said. ''But he said, 'Yeah, he hit you pretty good.'''Favre is still feeling the effects of the pinched nerve and possible slight concussion he sustained after he was hit hard in the Green Bay Packers' loss to the Eagles. Favre sat out most of practice Wednesday, but figures he'll be able to play against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday.''A little sore, but I'll be fine,'' said Favre, who has started an NFL-record 245 straight games at quarterback, including the playoffs.Favre had a headache after the game and still had soreness in his neck and shoulder on Wednesday. And it still hurts when he turns his head a certain way. He is listed as probable on the injury report.? ? Packers wide receiver Koren Robinson was sentenced to 90 days in jail for violating probation in a drunken driving case.Robinson must comply with the sentence by next March 1, when another court hearing is scheduled.INJURIES: The Indianapolis Colts could play without three Pro Bowl players on Sunday, but might get kicker Adam Vinatieri back in time to face the Tennessee Titans.Defensive end Dwight Freeney (buttocks), center Jeff Saturday (lower back) and safety Bob Sanders, all Pro Bowl choices last year, sat out practice and are listed as questionable.Vinatieri has missed the last two games with a right groin injury but said he planned to play Sunday.? ? Titans receiver David Givens will miss Sunday's game with the Colts because of an injured thumb. Tennessee listed Givens as out on the injury report.? ? Panthers tight end Mike Seidman has a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and will likely miss the rest of the season.NO APPEAL: The NFL Players Association will not appeal Albert Haynesworth's five-game suspension for stomping on the head of Dallas center Andre Gurode.Haynesworth said through his agent Tuesday that he would not appeal. NFL Players Association executive director Gene Upshaw discussed the suspension with Haynesworth and others, including NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.</div>http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/84...nflnt05.article
