Was Manning's knee a problem during Pro Bowl?

I posted the picture below with this story last February:

I'm curious to know if the left knee is the knee Manning had operated on (edit: According to NFL.com, it was same knee)? Peyton during the Pro Bowl went 11-16 for 147 yards and a TD. Big props to coltsfan21 for reminding me of this pic.

“Pro Bowl quarterback Peyton Manning will need four to six weeks of recovery time after having an infected bursa sac removed from his left knee, the team revealed in a press release on Monday.”

infected

It is a bummer, but it isn’t really damage to the knee, just the removal of the bursa sac, hopefully that makes the difference. Might have longterm implications for wear and tear on the knee, but Peyton isn’t a scrambler like others, so it probably isn’t as big a problem.

Hasn’t been anything before this about him missing any mini camps etc has there?

Maybe I am a blind optimist, but it isn’t an injury but an infection, so once it is cleared up there shouldn’t be any lasting problems

An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing...

I commented too about this sites posting the picture of mannings knee in feb early this morning as well. if I hadnt seen that article and the pic back then I think I would have been more freaked about the news. plus he has had this done in college and he missed a month

I love how the sports sites have headlines of manning may miss the opener. no way in hail he misses the opener. by my calculations, six weeks from yesterday is August 25…two weeks before the opener. Id wouldnt be shocked if he plays a quarter in the last preseason game to be honest.

Well

At least now we will get to see what Jim Sorgi can do with the first team offense, and still give plenty of time to give Tafralis a chance to win the back-up roster spot if Sorgi struggles. But I won’t lie, this is going to make the HOF Game a lot less interesting to watch….but I’ll watch it anyway,

I also blog at Speed Blue Nation

He probably will feel a ton better with that junk out of his knee.

Hope this helps explain

What is bursitis?

A bursa is a closed fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. “Bursae” is plural for “bursa.” The major bursae are located adjacent to the tendons near the large joints, such as the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. When the bursa becomes inflamed, the condition is known as “bursitis.” Most commonly, bursitis is caused by local soft tissue trauma or strain injury, and there is no infection (aseptic bursitis). On rare occasions, the bursa can become infected with bacteria. This condition is called septic bursitis.

What is knee bursitis?

The knee joint is surrounded by three major bursae. At the tip of the knee, over the kneecap bone, is the prepatellar bursa. This bursa can become inflamed (prepatellar bursitis) from direct trauma to the front of the knee. This commonly occurs with prolonged kneeling position. It has been referred to as “housemaid’s knee,” “roofer’s knee,” and “carpetlayer’s knee,” based on the patient’s associated occupational histories. It can lead to varying degrees of swelling, warmth, tenderness, and redness in the overlying area of the knee. As compared with knee joint inflammation (arthritis), it is usually only mildly painful. It is usually associated with significant pain when kneeling and can cause stiffness and pain with walking. Also, in contrast to problems within the knee joint, the range of motion of the knee is frequently preserved.

Prepatellar bursitis can occur when the bursa fills with blood from injury. It can also be seen in rheumatoid arthritis and from deposits of crystals, as seen in patients with gouty arthritis and pseudogout. The prepatellar bursa can also become infected with bacteria (septic bursitis). When this happens, fever may be present. This type of infection usually occurs from breaks in the overlying skin or puncture wounds. The bacteria involved in septic bursitis of the knee are usually those that normally cover the skin, called staphylococcus. Rarely, a chronically inflamed bursa can become infected by bacteria traveling through the blood.

And what has already been posted on here about him having a similar procedure done on his right leg while still in college and we all have seen how that one held him back. lol
