According to ESPN, a source claims that the NFL will announce its decision on the scandal "within the next 48 Hours."

Sterger claims Favre left several inappropriate voice mails and sent lewd photos to her during the 2008 Jets season. The scandal erupted online when Gawker sports blog Deadspin released the purported messages online.

Although Favre has reportedly admitted to leaving the racy voice mails, he denied sending graphic photos.

Sterger's lawyer Phil Reese previously told the New York Post that his client would not sue Favre or the NFL if the league suspended the quarterback and implemented a program that would prevent unwanted advances from happening in the future.
