The Facts:
Manning bruised the thumb on his throwing hand late in the AFC championship game, but X-rays found no broken bones and he's expected to start against Chicago in the Super Bowl, Colts owner Jim Irsay said on Monday night. "There's no concerns with that at all," Irsay said. "He's fine. I talked to the trainer about it earlier, and I know that's the case."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Earlier Monday, Tony Dungy said Manning's thumb was discolored and painful, so the team scheduled X-rays. Manning hit his thumb on the left tackle Tarik Glenn's helmet in the Colts' 38-34 victory over New England on Sunday night. Like Dungy, Irsay said he was sure Manning would play. "He's a tough guy," Irsay said. "We're in good shape, we're fine."
