Page "Peyton Manning" Paragraph 56

Manning stated that while he did intend to play during the 2011 season, he would not " fight " the front office to stay off injured reserve if his roster spot was needed.

Manning started practicing throwing footballs again in mid-December, with teammate Joseph Addai even claiming his passes looked " game ready.

" Ultimately, Manning did not play a single game in 2011, and the Colts went 2 – 14 without him, only the second season since Manning was a rookie that the Colts did not win at least 10 games.
