Schefter reports that the Packers have placed Favre on the Declared Non-Football Injury List due to an existing lower abdominal injury he would have been forced to rehab at practice.
Favre counts against the Packers' 80-player roster, but he will not be paid by the team.
After two days of extensive meetings with Brett Favre, Mike McCarthy doesn't believe his former quarterback is in the "right mindset" to play for the Green Bay Packers.
McCarthy told reporters after Green Bay's afternoon practice that he met with Favre for about four hours on sports betting Monday night and again Tuesday morning, leaving the discussions convinced Favre wants to play this season, but not for the Packers.
"The one thing I was looking for out of that conversation, was (whether) he (was) ready, committed to play football for the Green Bay Packers," McCarthy said. ". . . I don't want to speak for him, but based on where he is and the path that it took for him to get to this part, he wasn't in the right mindset to play here."
Even with the chance to win his starting job back potentially on the table, McCarthy said Favre couldn't seem to get past emotional wounds that were opened as tensions mounted in recent weeks.
"The football team's moving forward," McCarthy said. "The train has left the station, whatever analogy you want. He needs to jump on the train and let's go. Or, if we can't get past things that have happened, I have to keep the train moving."
McCarthy wouldn't commit to saying Favre has played his final game for the Packers.
"There's no decision made," McCarthy said. "We talked about speaking again tonight."
