Brett Favre will be reinstated and added to Green Bay's active roster on Monday, and will compete with Aaron Rodgers for the starting quarterback job.
A source confirmed the open competition to the Press-Gazette this afternoon.
Earlier today, team President and CEO Mark Murphy said the Packers "will welcome (Favre) back and turn this situation to our advantage."
Murphy's statement, issued shortly before 3 p.m., came after the NFL announced Favre's reinstatement late this morning. Commissioner Roger Goodell had held off on granting Favre’s request for reinstatement for almost a week, hoping Favre and the Packers could resolve their standoff.
