| undergone this surgery today by having a single level anterior fusion. The surgery was un-eventful," the team said in a statement. Although Manning will remain on the active roster, the Colts have not set a timetable for his return. Manning has started every game for the Colts since 1998. His absence means Kerry Collins will step in to start against the Houston Texans on Sunday. Collins, who had announced his retirement on July 7, was signed by the Colts last month as insurance in case Manning wasn't ready. |

| Houston, TX (Sportsbooks) - Houston Texans running back Arian Foster did not practice again on Thursday, leaving in doubt his status for the regular season opener against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Foster made headlines last week when he linked a picture of an MRI of his injured left hamstring to his Twitter account. "His workouts continue to get better, but he did not practice," said Houston head coach Gary Kubiak. "Everything's still progressing the same way, but obviously we're getting close to |

For the first time in the franchise's last 227 games (including the postseason), the Colts won't have Manning on the field when they begin defense of their latest AFC South crown with this Sunday's visit to the Houston Texans. It's highly improbable that he'll play the following week as well. Or the next. Manning's lagging recovery from neck surgery performed some five months ago isn't simply the marquee storyline of the opening week of the NFL's 2011 campaign. It may ju |

With the same regularity, many have made claims in recent years that one team was the likely candidate to finally topple Peyton Manning and company - the Houston Texans. Following Gary Kubiak's inaugural season as head coach in 2006, the Texans have been annually expected to make the jump from non-playoff team to contender, yet have fallen short of the mark year-after-year. Despite those shortcomings, experts and f |
