Marrone had said that Wednesday would be the pivotal day in determining whether Manuel would be ready for the opener, or if the team would rely on undrafted rookie Jeff Tuel to run the ofense. It turns out Manuel didn't even need Wednesday's practice to convince the staff he was ready. The rookie said his injury won't be a concern when he takes the field Sunday. "When you play, and if you're going to play, you can't think about any injuries that you have, whether it's something you had a procedure on, or a sprained finger or something like that," he told the team's official website. "You've just got to go out there and play." And play he will.
