A league source tells us that Brett Favre “definitely” will be starting on Friday night against the Chiefs.
Previously, the Vikings had planned to go with Tarvaris Jackson, as part of the rotation that coach Brad Childress was using to determine whether Jackson or Rosenfels will be the starter.
Cris Carter of ESPN initially reported earlier today that Favre will start in the team’s preseason home opener.
Meanwhile, the term “blackout” officially has been removed from all Minnesota dictionaries.
