The day after his son tied an NFL record with seven touchdown passes in the Denver Broncos' 49-27 season-opening victory against the Baltimore Ravens, Archie Manning said he was concerned Peyton Manning never would play again after his series of neck surgeries, adding that his throws in the early days of rehab were limited to "a 10-yard lob."
In a taped interview to be aired on ESPN Radio's "The Ian O'Connor Show" on Sunday morning, Archie conceded his 37-year-old son doesn't have the same arm strength he had in his prime but that he does appear stronger than he did last year.
The neck injury cost Peyton the entire 2011 season in Indianapolis and, ultimately, his job with the Colts.
