Big Dogs Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I didn't see this posted yet, so thought I would give an update based on the statement from Peyton's Doctor Statement by Dr. Robert Watkins following 5:00 pm EDT conference call with Peyton Manning and Colts Medical Staff on 12/1/11*“X-ray and CT examination of the surgical area shows that the fusion performed in September has achieved firm fixation,” said Dr. Robert Watkins. “Peyton will now be allowed to increase the intensity and breadth of his workouts as tolerated. There remains every indication that his recovery will continue. There still is no timetable for Peyton’s return to practice, which is one of many steps in his expected return to game action. He is working hard on a rehabilitation program outlined in conjunction with myself, Erin Barill and Peyton. His response to this plan in the future will dictate his return date.” “I am encouraged with what Doc had to say,” said Colts quarterback Peyton Manning. “I am happy that I can increase my rehabilitation program as outlined by him, Erin and the Colts Medical Staff. I am hopeful for continued progress in this next phase of my rehab.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coordi88 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 i read an article where multiple players had the same surgery and returned to play. the surgery was to fix a pinched nerve that was causing him constant pain, it wasn't because of any structural damage. or so it is reported Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Supposedly Addai had it done last year as well. However, he's always hurt . . . this year it's the hamstring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 and I suppose this is better than an announcement that he needs another surgery . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
