The Facts:
Manning was scheduled to have X-rays on his injured right thumb Monday, although Indianapolis doesn't believe it will affect his status for the Super Bowl against Chicago on Feb. 4. Tony Dungy said the thumb was discolored after the game and that Manning was hurting. "But from everything I hear, it's going to be OK," the coach said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Manning hit the thumb on his throwing hand on the helmet of left tackle Tarik Glenn late in the Colts' win over New England in the AFC championship Sunday night. ... For the record, Manning ranks second on the NFL's consecutive starts list, behind Brett Favre. He has started 156 consecutive games, including playoffs, in his nine-year career. In fact, Manning has only missed one play because of injury -- in a 2001 game against Miami. Don't look for him to be anywhere but on the field Super Sunday.
