Sounds like Manning is on schedule to return for the opener, but not this Friday or even next week as reported earlier. However, looks like Bob and D Free might be ack next week.

"Manning is one of six Colts on the physically unable to perform list. The team anticipates defensive end Dwight Freeney (foot); safety Bob Sanders (shoulder); and perhaps Santi to begin practicing next week. It might be another week or two before Manning and guard Ryan Lilja gain medical clearance."
