Manning Out for Week 1: Kerry Collins gets Nod

Manning is upset with having to sit out.

"To say I am disappointed in not being able to play is an understatement," Manning said in a statement released by the team. "The best part about football is being out there on the field playing with my teammates. It will be tough not to be out there playing for the organization and our fans. I simply am not healthy enough to play, and I am doing everything I can to get my health back. The team will do fine without me, and I know for sure that I will miss them much more than they miss me."

Peyton's consecutive games streak of 227 consecutive starts, including the playoffs will end on Sunday. Manning underwent neck surgery to repair a nerve on May 23rd, the recovery has taken longer than the 6-8 weeks that were initially expected.

That process continues.

“As a result of the most recent development the doctors have decided that Peyton will not practice. His participation therefore, in Sunday’s game versus Houston will likely be doubtful. We will update his playing status as required by NFL policy as the week goes on.”
