Something else that has been pointed out- something I really didn't comprehend until I heard it. There's a bunch of talk about how he won't be that rusty when he comes back because he did pretty much this same thing last year. Not so, I didn't realize that he was part of 13 of 16 practices last year and was part of 3 preseason games. So this downtime is more likely to cause more acclimation issues than many of us think.

Mort is extremely close to the Manning family and Peyton was at practice the day that Mort tweeted that out, so it seems fairly obvious where Mort got his info.
I don’t think Peyton would feed Mort BS (he gave Mort the exclusive on his retirement announcement) and I don’t think the Colts would give Manning any BS when they seem to be trying to kiss-up to him as much as possible.
Holder tweeted out this today, which seems fairly pertinent:
