Blog INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning had a medical procedure Monday to remove an infected bursa sac from his left knee. Colts president Bill Polian announced the procedure, described as routine, on Monday night. Polian said the team's medical staff expects Manning to have "a full and complete return to action" in four to six weeks. Colts training camp begins July 25. "Peyton had been receiving conservative treatment for an inflamed bursa sac in consultation with the club's medical staff since February 2008. This course of treatment was productive until Peyton experienced increased pain and early signs of infection," Polian said. "Peyton will meet with the press as normally scheduled at the opening of training camp."</div> http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3487657
At least he'll be 100% by then. Not that missing out on training camp means a whole lot for Peyton personally. It could potentially throw off some offensive timing, but they can probably get that sorted out in preseason play.
On the bright side, this allows the ESPN boys more time to whore themselves for Brett Favre. If Peyton was there for the start of training camp, they would have to repeatedly analyze every time he so much as blinked.
No guarantees he'll come back 100%. I don't think I'd be 100% after having my sac removed anyway. But Peyton's a pretty tough SOB.
LOL, I see what you did there... That being said, he'll probably be fine. I wouldn't expect anything less than another great season from him.
