The Facts:
On Tuesday, Dungy said he was optimistic the Colts' biggest question heading into training camp -- Manning's valuable knee -- could be resolved quicker than most people expect. But Dungy is certain Manning's left knee will be ready for the Colts' season-opener. In fact, the coach said he thinks Manning might even play during the presesason."I have talked to Peyton and we're just following the doctors instructions right now," Dungy said. "I'm hoping for four weeks, but if he's truly out six weeks, I think it will be hard to keep him out. However it goes, he'll be ready when he comes back."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Manning had
surgery last week to remove an infected bursa sac, a procedure doctors said would require four to six weeks to heal. But over the past decade Manning has earned a reputation as one of the league's best and most durable quarterbacks. He has started all 160 regular-season games in his 10-year career, the second-longest streak of any quarterback in NFL history behind Brett Favre's record of 253. Manning has missed only one play in his pro career because of injury. No reason to believe that will change soon.
