| Peyton Manning |
Peyton Manning's rehabilitation from neck surgery has slowed enough that the Indianapolis Colts are holding the quarterback out of practice. In a statement released by the team Monday, the Colts said the quarterback's status for Sunday's opener will "likely be doubtful."
The team statement explained that Manning started to have soreness in his back over the weekend, which initially was thought to be a normal part of his rehabilitation regimen following May neck surgery. However, when the soreness continued, the Colts medical staff initiated tests and consulted with specialists. As that evaluation process continues, team doctors have decided that Manning will not practice.
With that, Sunday's opener against the Houston Texans could be the end of Manning's 227 consecutive games started streak, including the playoffs. It's the second-longest streak in NFL history for quarterbacks behind Brett Favre. Manning, the only four-time MVP in league history, has never missed a regular-season start.
