The Indianapolis Colts released the following statement regarding the status of quarterback Peyton Manning, who is recovering from offseason neck surgery:
"During the last week, the rate of improvement in Peyton’s rehabilitation process slowed. Over the weekend Peyton experienced soreness in his back. It was originally thought to be a normal reaction to his rehabilitation regimen. When the soreness persisted, the Colts medical team decided to initiate diagnostic tests and to consult with a number of specialists around the country who have been involved in Peyton’s case from the outset. That process continues.
"As a result of the most recent development the doctors have decided that Peyton will not practice. His participation therefore, in Sunday’s game versus Houston will likely be doubtful. We will update his playing status as required by NFL policy as the week goes on."
Initial injury and practice participation reports are due on Wednesday, but it appears as though Kerry Collins will be under center when the Colts face the Houston Texans on Sunday.
Manning has started 208 consecutive regular season games. Including playoffs, that number increases to 227.
