NEW YORK — Brett Favre reportedly admitted leaving voicemails for the former Jets game hostess to whom a website says he also sent lewd photos.
Fox television’s Jay Glazer reported Sunday that Favre told NFL investigators last week that he left phone messages for Jenn Sterger, who worked for the Jets in 2008 when Favre was their starting quarterback.
Fox did not say who provided the information. The NFL said it is not commenting on details of the investigation.
Glazer also reported that Favre denied sending Sterger inappropriate photos.
The NFL is investigating a Deadspin report this month that Favre sent the racy photos to Sterger two years ago. Sterger, now an on-air personality for Versus, has not cooperated with the league. But her manager, Phil Reese, told The Associated Press on Sunday that could happen quickly.
Bucs tight end arrested
TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Bay tight end Jerramy Stevens sat out Sunday’s game against St. Louis after police said he was arrested and charged with possessing marijuana.
Stevens was pulled over in his Ford pickup truck on Saturday at 7:05 p.m. for loud music, Tampa police spokeswoman Andrea Davis said in a news release. The officer said he smelled marijuana inside the pickup and found 38 grams, or 1 1/3 ounce, of marijuana.
Stevens, 30, was taken to jail and charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Eagles going back to Vick
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Philadelphia coach Andy Reid, switching quarterbacks again, said Michael Vick will start Nov. 7 against Indianapolis in the Eagles’ next game after their bye week.
Kevin Kolb made his third straight start Sunday, a 37-19 loss to Tennessee. Kolb threw for 231 yards and was intercepted twice. He also lost a fumble.
Asked who his starter would be after the Eagles’ bye, Reid was short.
“It’s Mike,” Reid said.
Injury report.
Falcons safety Thomas DeCoud left the game against Cincinnati with a head injury after a helmet-to-helmet collision with Bengals running back Cedric Benson.
DeCoud’s injury came on the first Sunday after the NFL’s tougher stance on hits to the helmet. The league also released a video and a memo to teams on hits to the head.
