Rumors that Peyton Manning was hurt were shot down by Colts
Rumors that Peyton Manning was hurt were shot down by Colts GM Bill Polian, but also by Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, according to the Providence Journal. "IÂ’m not really sure what injuries youÂ’re talking about, but he hasnÂ’t been listed on the injury report all year. ... I donÂ’t think heÂ’s injured. He hasnÂ’t been on the injury report, so I am assuming heÂ’s not hurt," Belichick said.Funny how Belichick would reference the injury report, since he is thought to have manipulated that very report for years. We're sure Polian and the rest of the Colts' brass is relieved to have Belichick's diagnosis.

GM Bill Polian has shot down rumors that Peyton Manning might
GM Bill Polian has shot down rumors that Peyton Manning might be dealing with an injury, according to the Tribune Star. "... I can assure that Peyton is not hurt," he said. "He has no injuries to speak of. There's nothing wrong with his arm. There's nothing wrong with his knee. So to put those kinds of conjecture to rest, he has not appeared on the injury list and won't because he doesn't have an injury. We made some throws [Monday] night that we'd rather have back, I'm sure. It had nothing to do with injury."This is obviously comforting to Manning owners. The quarterback hasn't been himself statistically this season, but as long as he's healthy, as it appears he is, he should be fine.

ESPN's Trent Dilfer has suggested that Peyton Manning might
ESPN's Trent Dilfer has suggested that Peyton Manning might be dealing with a hand or arm injury because the ball is not coming out the way it normally does, according to NFL.com. Replays of Monday's game seemed to back up what Dilfer was saying.Manning is averaging over 250 yards per game, but his 10/9 touchdown to interception ratio isn't very Peyton-like, so perhaps Dilfer is on to something here. It's at least worth monitoring.

Updating a previous report, The Indianapolis Colts have said
Updating a previous report, The Indianapolis Colts have said in a statement that QB Peyton Manning did not have a staph infection in his knee. \"The first signs of infection occurred while he was in New Orleans in July. It should be noted that infection developed prior to any surgery. Upon manifestation of the signs of infection, he immediately had surgery to remove the bursa sac. Concurrently, he was treated aggressively with antibiotics, and the infection was eliminated. The second procedure (tacking of the skin to eliminate the bursal space) was designed to ensure the complete and swift resolution of the bursal problem. Â… The second procedure was in no way, shape or form, related to the infection. Â… It also should be noted emphatically that, at no time, did he have MRSA. It is clear from consultation with our physicians, including infectious disease specialists, that staph is a societal medical problem. There is no empirical evidence that indicates to our physicians there is a problem related to resistant staph (MRSA) with respect to the Indianapolis Colts,\" the team said in the statement.

A staph infection in a bursa sac in Peyton Manning's left knee
A staph infection in a bursa sac in Peyton Manning's left knee led to the surgery that kept him out of much of the Indianapolis Colts' preseason training camp, the team confirmed Friday. But team officials denied reports Manning had a highly virulent form of staph infection that is difficult to treat called methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
Impacts: The team, responding to reports that the staph infection prompted both of Manning's preseason left knee surgeries, said that was the case only with the first procedure, which removed the bursa sac. The second operation was to tack skin together to eliminate the space left by the removal, the team said. Signs of infection appeared while Manning was in New Orleans in July, prompting surgery to remove the bursa sac and treatment with antibiotics to eliminate the infection.

The Colts have issued a statement regarding Peyton Manning's
The Colts have issued a statement regarding Peyton Manning's knee surgery, according to their official team website. The statement said, "Peyton Manning developed swelling in his left pre-patella bursa in late February. The swollen bursa was treated conservatively beginning in February with drainage and anti-inflammatory medication. The first signs of infection occurred while he was in New Orleans in July. It should be noted that infection developed prior to any surgery. Upon manifestation of the signs of infection, he immediately had surgery to remove the bursa sac. Concurrently, he was treated aggressively with antibiotics, and the infection was eliminated. The second procedure (tacking of the skin to eliminate the bursal space) was designed to ensure the complete and swift resolution of the bursal problem. The procedure was successful. The second procedure was in no way, shape or form, related to the infection. The second procedure did not delay his rehab or recovery materially. It also should be noted emphatically that, at no time, did he have MRSA. It is clear from consultation with our physicians, including infectious disease specialists, that staph is a societal medical problem. There is no empirical evidence that indicates to our physicians there is a problem related to resistant staph (MRSA) with respect to the Indianapolis Colts."For fantasy purposes, Manning will be fine for Monday's AFC South showdown with the Titans.

ESPN.com reports Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning had a staph infection that forced doctors to operate on his knee a second time this offseason, according to the Indianapolis Star. Manning\'s initial surgery was in July, when the bursa sac in his left knee had to be operated on because of the staph infection. A second procedure took place 17 days after the original surgery, further delaying Manning\'s progress in training camp.
