Update: According to the Indianapolis Colts' QB Peyton Manning underwent procedure to relieve pain in his neck caused by a pinched nerve, the Colts announced on Wednesday. The condition "has existed intermittently for the past four years, but at no time did it interfere with his training, practice or playing regimen," the team said in a statement."While it never has affected Peyton’s activity on or off the field, the Colts’ medical staff, after post-playoff examination, thought it best to resolve the situation now." The procedure was performed by Dr. Richard Fessler in Chicago. Manning stayed overnight and went home on Wednesday. Medical personnel believe the issue has been resolved and Manning is expected to participate in the Colts off-season program this spring.
Fantasy Impact: Manning started the first 192 regular-season games of his career. He has only missed one play because of an injury in his 12 NFL seasons, during a 2001 game with Miami, Manning broke his jaw on a helmet-to-jaw hit by Dolphins' DE Lorenzo Bromell.
