Having been NFL opponents’ pain in the neck for 12 years, the Indianapolis Colts star quarterback Peyton Manning now has to deal with the pain in his own neck- after having a surgery in Chicago to fix a pinched nerve, Manning is now in recovery from it and is expected to take part in offseason workouts in time and wear back Colts jersey for 2010 season.
“This condition has existed intermittently for the past four years, but at no time did it interfere with his training, practice or playing regimen,” the Colts said. “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.”
Turning 34 year old in 2010, Manning has had two offseason surgeries in three years. The last one was in July 2008 when he had surgery twice on his left knee because of an infected bursa sac. Because of the surgery, Manning missed all of that year’s training camp and lost 10 pounds during his recuperation.
However, Manning still managed his record of 210 consecutive starts, including the playoffs and kept setting records for the Colts. With Manning being the starting quarterback, the Colts have made a league-high eight straight playoff appearances, reached the Super Bowl twice, winning it all in 2006, and set NFL records with seven straight 12-win seasons, 23 consecutive wins and 115 wins in a decade.
