Peyton to stop practicing: Because of ongoing concerns about his recovery from neck surgery, including some back pain, the Colts announced Monday that they are holding Peyton Manning out of practice effective immediately. "During the last week, the rate of improvement in Peyton’s rehabilitation process slowed," the team said in a statement on Monday. "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 ... 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. ... At the conclusion of the diagnostic process, if there are any new developments in the prognosis which we outlined for Peyton at the start of training camp we will report them. As of now Peyton continues to deal with a complicated neurological recovery, the end date of which is unpredictable." CBSSports.com NFL columnist Mike Freeman said that the initial report on Manning that he will need an additional surgery on his neck isn't true "yet" but the quarterback might miss several games.

I think I saw the stat this morning that no Colts player who was listed as doubtful has played in the last 5 years; let the Kevin Kolb era begin for the Express!
Im already resigned to winning the Sacko Bowl.
And to think, you could have had Frank Gore in that spot!
