Because of the owner-imposed lockout, a player like Peyton Manning cannot work with the Colts team physical therapist as he recovers from his May 23rd shoulder surgery.
"The lockout didn't allow me to work my (Colts) therapist, Erin Barill, and I'm just not comfortable taking any chances with this thing," Manning said. "Erin knows me. He's rehabbed me through two other surgeries (neck and knee) and I think most people understand that once you build up a trust with your therapist, that's the guy you want and need to work with."
Manning, who is currently at his annual 'Manning Passing Camp,' told Mortensen he has 'no idea' when he will be ready to participate in training camp if and when the lockout ends. He is in 'cautious' mode, and is unwilling to test the shoulder by throwing the football until he gets evaluated by Erin Barill, the Colts physical therapist.
So, basically, what this means is Peyton Manning isn't throwing any footballs until Barill looks him over, and Barill can't look at his shoulder until the lockout ends.
Stanno facendo più danni che altro con sto lockout!
