Peyton Manning expects to play in 2012.
The Colts QB (for now) missed the entire 2011 season after
having neck surgery, but has recently said his recovery is
right on schedule.
So much, in fact, that he’s looking forward to playing
next season.
“Peyton certainly expects to return to play,” Manning’s
agent Tom Condon told the NFL Network. “He wants to play,
he’s enthusiastic about it.
“He’s made a substantial amount of progress so we
anticipate him playing football next year.”
Where exactly he’ll be playing is yet to be determined.
Odds are slim that he’ll return to Indianapolis, meaning
he’ll be leaving the only team he’s ever played for.
Speculation has had Manning destined for a handful of
teams, including the Arizona Cardinals. That is, of
course, if the Colts let him go.
“I would expect soon,” Condon said of when a decision on
Manning’s status will be made. “This is a tough time.
Tough for Peyton, because there’s always the potential
that you could be separated from the team that you’ve been
with for a very long period of time.”
