Indianapolis Colts Quarterback Peyton Manning had a medical procedure Monday to remove an infected bursa sac from his left knee.
A Bursa (not to be confused with the Hermes Birkin) is a small fluid-filled sac made of white fibrous tissue and lined with synovial membrane. It provides a cushion between bones and tendons and/or muscles around a joint. Bursae are found around almost every major joint of the body; when they become inflamed, the condition is called bursitis.
The Colts medical staff expects Manning to have "a full and complete return to action" in four to six weeks. Colts training camp begins July 25.
