Makes the contract they gave Kerry Collins a lot more reasonable.

The guy in my league who took Manning (3rd round) also has Cassel (cracked rib) as his back-up.

ESPN is saying he's just being re-evaluated. No surgery is planned at this point.

Wow.

"WDNE-AM in Indianapolis is reporting that Colts QB Peyton Manning has undergone another surgical procedure on his neck and is in danger of missing the season. This is the second radio report from Indianapolis in less than a week that has suggested that Manning will not play in 2011. Manning has been ruled out for Week 1 at Houston already as he has not rehabbed quickly enough from neck surgery in May. "It will be tough not to be out there playing for the organization and our fans," Manning said regarding missing Week 1, per ESPN. "I simply am not healthy enough to play."

OK Kerry Collins is starting week 1. I'll give Freeman a week off from Detroit's pass rush.

Colts still being vague, not committing either way on whether he will play this year, but also denying that he already had a third surgery.

He went in the 8th round of my draft tonight.

Colts owner Jim Irsay tweeted Thursday morning that Peyton Manning (neck) will be out for "awhile."
Irsay isn't breaking news, it's just more confirmation that Manning is in jeopardy of missing significant time. While rumors of Manning being out for the season haven't been confirmed, Colts coaches have been told to "prepare the players for life without their star," according to CBS Sports' Mike Freeman. Late Wednesday, Irsay promised an official update on Manning's status "soon."

Mort reported he had the procedure and 2-3 month recovery. No word yet if he goes on IR.

ya gotta think the Colts won't allow Manning's career to be ruined by coming back too soon. He's probably done for the year.
