The Facts:
Manning said neck surgery in March has alleviated symptoms that prompted him to endure up to three treatment sessions a day, which took away from time he wanted to spend in meetings and weight sessions. "I feel good out there throwing, I feel good in my lifting, I feel like everything went according to plan," Manning said on the opening day of the Indianapolis Colts' mandatory mini-camp. "I'm very relieved of that and I no longer have to get the treatment that I was having to get for the past four years."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Manning had surgery in Chicago in early March to alleviate the problems a pinched nerve had caused for about four years. "Treatment was time as much as anything, manual traction trying to relieve some things." he explained. "Three times a day about 25 minutes apiece just got to be tough, very time consuming. ..." Manning also said he's spent time with receivers since April, putting a particular emphasis on building good timing with players such as rookie tight end Brody Eldridge, receiver Sam Giguere and re-establishing his connection with Anthony Gonzalez, who was injured in last season's opener and unable to return. ... Of course, Manning won't be throwing to Reggie Wayne, who's staying away from mini-camp to make a statement about his desire for a new contract. We suspect, however, that timing won't be a major issue in that case.
