Please help me identify this weed in my lawn and flower beds. I need a positive ID, as I am trying to determine if it is safe to feed my rabbit.

I initially thought it was a plantain, but all plantains have parallel veins, and this one has branched veins.

Location: Chicago suburbs.

Picture of a bunch of it in my flower bed:

The leaves and stem are hairy:

Leaves are alternate on a round stem:

I have looked at my normal sources, but can't find anything on this.
 
I don't recognize it. The younger stages of plants are not always easily identified. You may have to wait until it flowers to be able to ID it. I would not feed it to the rabbits in the meantime.
 
yes-- wait for the flower--- and when you get the flower-- please include a diamerter of the open flower head,please-- it does help with some ID!!!
