Manning Underwent Cervical Fusion Surgery Thursday, Now At Least 2-3 Months
Changing story of Peyton Manning (record) in the future only to the NFL has taken a turn for the worse. According to Chris Mortensen, ESPN, Manning was the cervical spinal fusion surgery on the morning of Thursday, a procedure that puts him out of the game at least 2-3 months. This follows a May 23 surgery to repair his neck bulging disc.
The information was confirmed by the Associated Press.The healing process of the operation proved to be frustratingly slow, and after consultation with a half-dozen neurosurgeons, it was decided that the best approach to Manning was to have a fusion of a level cervical in his neck. In short, the cervical fusion, where surgeons remove a herniated disc and put a bone graft in place.
Manning had hoped to avoid the procedure to put it out for a long time, but ultimately, it seemed inevitable. "I think it's OK, probably because there is a small colony of this Agreement in the form of game," Archie Manning said Mortensen father. "He was under surveillance since May, he did not. It is clear that it is a disappointment, but it can relax a bit compared to the intensity of what he did, trying rehab. "
Manning's brother Cooper told ESPN that "everyone is different, but I was a merger and I have known players who have had fusions and went on to play football. ... You can get a pretty good range of motion back, and much more stable, while it heals. "
But at least one medical expert - SI.com 's Will Carroll - believes that this transaction could end his career.
The Colts have originally taken Manning, who recently signed a five-year, $ 90 million contract extension, physics can not make the list, so you can practice. However, back pain aggravated his previous problems, and it was back to the doctor for further diagnosis.
Thursday morning, Colts owner Jim Irsay Twitter that Manning was getting "some time", which can be a conservative estimate. At one point, the decision is made about the wisdom of HAVING Manning play at all this season, which Hall of Fame defensive end Howie Long spoke of Sports on Wednesday.
"When the lights go out at night, and an athlete is staring at the ceiling, something that is probably their biggest fear is the neck," Long said. "For a number of reasons, some of them are obvious. When you start getting into the procedures of the neck you are getting more nerve damage, and you get the spine. It's a scary proposition, and it is certainly not good things.
"Is this will be back this year hopefully is just my point is this -. When you are in multiple neck problems, there is nothing better.
"I do not know where he is, and just about Peyton. It sounds like a medical staff has tried to understand why the process went more slowly than had been expected. I think it's important that Peyton will do what is best suitable for Peyton."
The Colts will move forward with veteran Kerry Collins (notes), who had retired recently as it started. They face the Houston Texans in Houston for game of the season on Sunday.
"Good thing none of them play for us," Colts center Jeff Saturday (note) said NFL Network, when asked about the amount of people who do not believe that the team can win without Manning. "We still have to show up on Sunday and take the Texans. With or without Peyton we have yet to show up and play. Of course I'm disappointed. It is one of my close friends, I'm sorry for what he will go, but we have a job to do and it is down and beat the Texans and get a division win in a week "
"He deserves all the credit you have. Man is the greatest quarterback to play our game, but the reality is that is not here now. He is trying to regain health and return as soon as possible, but I have a small chip on the shoulder. I think as a team, we have a small chip on the shoulder. We have to go and show the world that we can keep winning games and keep in the playoff hunt until he finally turns and has the opportunity to go behind the bar.
"At the end of the day, there will be 53 guys ready to play Sunday and go, we need to get a win."
