Report: Peyton cleared to play

[charlotte49er]

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning has been medically cleared by two doctors to resume his NFL career, ESPN reported Thursday.

One of the doctors who gave his approval was Dr. Robert Watkins, who performed Manning's most recent neck surgery, which was his third in 19 months.

Colts neurosurgeon Dr. Hank Feuer also cleared the 35-year-old Manning to play again in 2012, according to ESPN.

Manning missed the entire 2011 season after surgery in early September to fuse together vertebrae in his neck.

Kind of surprising to me. It was just in the last few weeks that the was even cleared to start jogging.

I don't think this is definite sign he is healthy.

#Colts neurosurgeon Dr. Hank Feuer reportedly said to Manning, "If you were my own son, I'd tell (you) to go play," per ESPN.

Medically cleared to play and being able to play at the level he did in the past are two very different things.

I heard a report (on NFLN) that he worked out with the WR's this week. He was able to throw with no pain, but could NOT throw with the same velocity that he once did.

and now Irsay tweets more fuel to the fire basically telling Peyton to slow his roll cause Irsay's docs haven't cleared him
