The Facts:
Manning had a medical procedure Monday to remove an infected bursa sac from his left knee. Colts president Bill Polian announced the procedure, described as routine, on Monday night. Polian said the team's medical staff expects Manning to have "a full and complete return to action" in four to six weeks. Colts training camp begins July 25.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Per Polian's statement: "Peyton had been receiving conservative treatment for an inflamed bursa sac in consultation with the club's medical staff since February 2008. This course of treatment was productive until Peyton experienced increased pain and early signs of infection. Peyton will meet with the press as normally scheduled at the opening of training camp. ..." At this point, we'll go ahead and take the team's version as fact. But Manning's ability to resume working within the timeframe provided is something we'll be watching closely.
