His injury problems occurred when Manning was forced to leave the field complaining of pain in his arm and lower back during one practice session.
The serious nature of the surgery needed had some commentators predicting that the injury could be career-threatening. However, the quarterback has been given a timely boost as the surgery seems to have been a complete success.
He has the full support of Dr. Neel Anand, an orthopedic surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, who has confirmed that the surgery should not be career-threatening: “This is not a career-ending surgery or a condition. He should be fine to get back next season.”
There has still been no announcement about when Manning may be expected to return.
