Though the Green Bay Packers say Brett Favre has put them in a difficult situation, they're prepared to welcome him back. The NFL announced Sunday that Favre will be reinstated and added to the Packers' active roster on Monday.
Commissioner Roger Goodell had held off on granting Favre's request for reinstatement for nearly a week, hoping Favre and the team could resolve their standoff.
"Although we built this year around the assumption that Brett meant what he said about retiring, Brett is coming back," said team president and CEO Mark Murphy. "We will welcome him back and turn this situation to our advantage."
