How Bout Some New Adds While We Wait?


On Tuesday, Tony Dungy said he was optimistic Peyton Manning's valuable knee issue could be resolved quicker than most people expect. Dungy fully expects Manning to be ready week 1 and says that there is even the possibility Manning may play in the pre-season.

"I have talked to Peyton and we're just following the doctors instructions right now," Dungy said. "I'm hoping for four weeks, but if he's truly out six weeks, I think it will be hard to keep him out. However it goes, he'll be ready when he comes back."

Manning on the Mend


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.
