Manning is still unable to take part in full practices with the Colts, and it's anything but certain he will be able to play when the team opens the regular season at Houston on Sept. 11, according to La Canfora. The Colts activated Manning from the physically unable to perform list last week, four months after a May procedure to repair a nerve in his neck.

Manning and the Colts are looking for more information as to why his recovery is taking this long. Sources told La Canfora there has been no additional surgical procedure scheduled. Colts president Bill Polian said Sunday he knows nothing about a talk radio report that Manning needs a second neck surgery. The report originated from a Twitter update from 1070-AM The Fan in Indianapolis. "Been told by multi sources that QB P Manning needs a 2nd neck procedure," the post read. "Will remain out indefinitely." Polian responded when contacted by Sports Illustrated, saying "I don't know anything about that. I honestly don't." When reached for comment by Indianapolis NBC affiliate WTHR, Manning's father, Archie Manning, declined comment. The Colts signed 17-year veteran Kerry Collins out of retirement last month in case Manning misses the season opener. Manning has started 227 consecutive games, including the playoffs, the second-longest streak in NFL history for quarterbacks behind Brett Favre. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
What do you want to set the odds of Indianapolis making the playoffs at if Peyton Manning doesn't play this season? I'm thinking somewhere between nil and zilch.
he'll play. the question is when. I could see him missing 2-3 weeks. they wouldn't have given him that contract if it was going to be that type of issue
If he has to have another neck procedure done i'm thinking more like half the season. Just my opinion
If he has to have a third neck procedure in less than two years' time, forget season threatening...it's gonna be more career-threatening than anyone would hope for.
Has had to stop practice due to a back problem. Looking increasingly likely that he won't play next weekend.
No surprise here. With Neck injuries...this could linger the rest of his career. All it takes is one bad hit to aggravate it too. Too bad it wasn't Brady
Jay_Glazer Jay Glazer RT @alexmarvez: RT @injuryexpert: Indy radio host @jakequery reporting Manning had another procedure on Sunday. Out for season. We'll see. So if we have to settle for a wildcard looks like we could be heading to Houston.
The drop off between having one of the best QB's of all time and Kerry Collins only amounts to 1 or 2 wins a season, according to a self-proclaimed expert on a message board.
