    Peyton Manning has been medically cleared to play by 2 doctors

    Peyton Manning has been medically cleared by two doctors, including Dr. Robert Watkins, who performed the most recent surgery on the Indianapolis Colts quarterback's neck, to resume his NFL career, sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen and ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

    ESPN.com's NFL Nation bloggers check in with the latest on Colts quarterback Peyton Manning. Blog


    The sources said Watkins examined Manning recently in Los Angeles and concluded the stability in his neck would have allowed the quarterback to play this Sunday if the nerves in his arm had regenerated to a satisfactory performance level. Watson also instructed the quarterback to continue an aggressive rehabilitation path that provides an optimistic outlook for Manning to play in 2012. Watkins performed Manning's spinal fusion on Sept. 8, and on Dec. 1 declared that the fusion had achieved "firm fixation."
    Watkins, according to the sources, joined Colts neurosurgeon Dr. Hank Feuer in clearing Manning to play. One source said that Feuer recently told Manning, "If you were my own son, I'd tell (you) to go play."
    In addition to Manning's optimistic words expressed in an interview with ESPN on Tuesday, in which he indicated he plans to resume his playing career, the medical clearance by his two doctors, the sources said, will bolster his determination to play in 2012.
    What remains in question is the timeline in which Manning's nerve regeneration to his triceps will improve to the point where he is throwing passes in the manner that helped him win four MVP awards during his 13-year career.

    According to one source familiar with Manning's medical review, "It's not a safety issue; it's a performance issue." This source added that Manning is "making progress."
    The source said Manning had a throwing session Tuesday with two of his Colts receivers -- Anthony Gonzalez and Blair White -- at an undisclosed location and that Manning has spent numerous recent days throwing to at least one wide receiver, aiming to regain as much strength as possible in his arm.
    However, the source said Manning still cannot pinpoint a date when his performance will reach an acceptable level to him. The source alluded that it might take to the one-year anniversary of Manning's May 23rd, 2011 surgery on a bulging disk in his neck.
    Information from ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen and ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter was used in this report.

    Nothing new.

    It all comes down to if/when the nerves regenerate.

    That bitch is sabotaging super bowl week. NFL would step in if anybody else not named Peyton was sabotaging its marquee event. It would tell them to shut up and sit down.

    He still can't play for Indy. There's no getting around it. They're going to draft Luck and he has to play. What I haven't learned is what the situation is in terms of Indy having the ability to trade him. Can they sign him and then try to trade him?

    ESPN keeps showing that stupid sportscenter commercial with the Manning family walking through the compound only because of Peyton. Just a fukking shame on all involved.

    The media can only interview you if YOU let them. I don't see any guns to his head this week, Peyton wants all of this attention.

    Payton is in a high-risk category.

    Lets not forget that the Colts are a business.

    As we all know, if Peyton is on the roster come March 8, the Colts are out $28 Million.

    Seems like a lot of money to bank on a guy with that much risk following him around.

    The smart move is to simply release him, as a trade does not make any sense from a business perspective either.

    I dont like Peyton Manning but I wish him well. Nobody would want to go through that after what he accomplished in his career.


    Sometimes losing something that you had is worse than not ever having it at all.


    May Allah bless him with full health so that he can go back to playing the game he loves.

    having all the media attention on Peyton and NOT the Giants is HUGE for the Giants, keeps the media from discovering undisclosed injuries, pressure, etc... perfect for Giants

    You guys are all idiots for thinking Eli cares that his bro gets attention, when its all over Sunday, Eli will have 2 superbowl rings

    Not if you ever read any of my posts on Peyton....which I make every time I see a Peyton thread since I live in Indy. Its never been the neck....plenty of players that hit every play have came back from fusion surgery. Its whether or not the nerves come back to give him the arm strength he needs. I hope he retires before he's shotputting the ball like Chad Pu$$ington
