Peyton Manning is not playing because he had surgery on his neck prior to the start of the 2011 NFL season. According to Jim Irsay (Colts owner) 2 other Colts had the same surgery last year, recovered, and have resumed their playing careers. Manning is estimated to miss 2-3 months while he recovers. Whether he plays in 2011 will depend on his rehab. Down, set, ChaCha!
