Vikings arrive at camp without Favre

The Minnesota Vikings arrived for training camp Thursday with no idea if Brett Favre will be back for another run at a Super Bowl. If Favre returns, all 22 starters will be back from a team that lost in overtime to the Saints in the NFC title game in January. But Favre remains at home in Mississippi, recovering from ankle surgery. He has not told the team if he will be back for a 20th NFL season.
