Green Bay, WI (My Sportsbook) - Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre underwent minor ankle surgery Monday morning.

"The procedure went as expected and he is recovering at this time," Packers general manager Ted Thompson said in a release. "We expect no complications and that he will be cleared to participate in offseason workouts similar to his schedule in 2006."

Favre announced his decision to return for a 17th season earlier this month.

The future Hall of Famer started all 16 games for the 14th straight season in 2006, stretching his consecutive starts streak to 237 (257 including playoffs), an NFL record among quarterbacks.

He completed 56 percent of his passes for 3,885 yards with 18 touchdowns and 18 interceptions last season, while helping the Packers to a record of 8-8.

Favre, who will turn 38 next season, passed Dan Marino last season for the most completions in NFL history and sits on the doorstep of a number of other records, including wins by a quarterback and touchdown passes. He is one victory shy of John Elway (148), six TD passes from tying Marino (420), and is 3,862 yards short of surpassing Marino for the most passing yards in history.

After a tough 2005 season in which he threw 29 interceptions for a 4-12 club, Favre took a few months before deciding to return in 2006. His decision to return for 2007 apparently wasn't as difficult, as he needed only a month to announce his plans.

A three-time MVP award winner, Favre led the Packers to their first NFL title in 30 years with a 35-21 Super Bowl XXXI victory over the New England Patriots after the 1996 season.

The Packers also announced Monday they have reached a four-year contract with defensive end Cullen Jenkins.

"We are pleased to reach a long-term agreement with defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins prior to the start of free agency," Thompson said.

Jenkins had a career-best 6 1/2 sacks last season, bringing his total to 14 of his three years in the NFL.
