Manning showing some progress

Peyton Manning’s injured neck is healthy enough for more workout work, but he’s still not ready to start taking hits, his doctor said. Dr. Robert Watkins said the Indianapolis Colts quarterback is healing. Manning, 35, hasn’t practiced since having a spinal fusion Sept. 8 to repair a damaged nerve that caused weakness in his throwing arm. It was Manning’s third neck surgery in 19 months and the most risky and complicated of the three.
