The Facts:
Despite an unsubstantiated report on Indianapolis radio that Manning already underwent a third neck procedure, SI’s Peter King reports that it hasn’t happened. Yet. “Peyton Manning has not had a procedure on his neck, I am told reliably,” King wrote on Twitter. “Manning could have a procedure. He and team still investigating options. But it has not happened yet.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Colts owner Jim Irsay subsequently shot out a similar tweet adding that the team would update Manning's status "soon." Meanwhile, as PFT suggests, if surgery was not on the table, the Colts would quickly deny the possibility. Instead, Manning is releasing statements about missing his teammates. There's more than enough smoke here to say a fire is burning. We'll be watching closely for the flame to return.
