Brett Favre was an unexpected no-show for the Green Bay Packers' voluntary workout Monday morning.
But it wasn't immediately clear whether Favre's absence was a big deal - or simply a case of coaches not wanting to overwork their star quarterback so early in the offseason.
Favre was present for last week's voluntary workouts, and Packers coach Mike McCarthy said last week that he expected Favre to attend this week's sessions as well.
McCarthy said through a team spokesman that he would address Favre's absence during his regularly scheduled interview session on Tuesday. He has said several times that he wants to limit Favre's "pitch count" during workouts so the quarterback doesn't get worn out.
Favre is scheduled to speak to the media on Thursday and will host his annual charity softball tournament on Sunday.
Wide receiver Donald Driver recently said that getting the chance to work with Favre on chemistry and timing was a primary reason he was adamant about attending the voluntary workouts.
