EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Oct. 15 (UPI) -- Minnesota quarterback Brett Favre, who has started an NFL-record 289 straight games, was listed as questionable Friday for Sunday's Vikings meeting with Dallas.

Favre's status was a focal point Friday among NFL quarterbacks, many of whom have struggled to stay on the field during the 2010 season. He has had only limited participation in practice this week due to an ailing right elbow.

Favre said this week he would consider the possibility of missing a game or two if the pain in his elbow worsens.

Green Bay Coach Packers Coach Mike McCarthy said Friday he believes Aaron Rodgers has passed all tests mandated by the league following a concussion and will start Sunday against Miami. Rodgers, who suffered a concussion last weekend, practiced Thursday and was listed as probable on the team's official injury report Friday.

In other news involving quarterbacks:

-- Philadelphia's Michael Vick practiced Friday for the first time since suffering a rib injury in the fourth week of the season, but Coach Andy Reid said Kevin Kolb would start Sunday against Atlanta.

-- Rookie Colt McCoy was set to make his pro debut for Cleveland Sunday against Pittsburgh after both Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace were listed as doubtful for the contest. McCoy won more games than any other quarterback in college football history while with Texas.
