Peyton Manning underwent surgery this afternoon to remove an infected bursa sac from his left knee, and rehabilitation for the Indianapolis Colts quarterback could last six weeks.

The season opener is more than six weeks away, so for Manning to miss even one game because of this seems a stretch. Still, aren't the Colts due for a little bad luck??
