Indianapolis Colts Owner: Peyton Manning “Out for Awhile”
I would start getting used to seeing Kerry Collins under center for the Indianapolis Colts this season. Colts owner Jim Irsay all but said that would be the case on Twitter this morning.

Indianapolis Colts Sign Kerry Collins
I have been saying this whole preseason that quarterback Peyton Manning would be good to go for the Indianapolis Colts' season opener Sept. 11 at Houston. I now concede it's possible he might not be.
