INDIANAPOLIS — Peyton Manning reportedly had three surgeries last year, not two, as the Colts originally said, according to a new report.
SI.com, citing anonymous league sources, reported Wednesday that Manning had a previously unknown procedure between his May surgery and the September surgery that ended his season.
The report says the same doctor who performed the fusion in California did not perform either of the previous two surgeries.
It was believed Manning had undergone three neck procedures in a 19-month span that ended in September. According to the report, it was actually four.
The report also says Manning may have bone spurs in the neck and could require more surgery.
Neither Manning’s agent, Tom Condon, nor Colts owner Jim Irsay responded to interview requests left by The Associated Press on Wednesday.
