I would be shocked if he is out the whole season.

They were not going to take a chance of him getting injured in a meaningless preseason game and now they just want him to take a week or two to get back into the offense and working again before just stepping out on the field.

I agree he will likely be back week 3 against Cleveland.

Tried to look it up, doesn't appear Manning ever went on the active roster during his injured season.

That was more Polian hoping and praying he could come back and win a game or two and save his job though, which was wishful thinking at best.

Ballard I can't see doing the same and wasting a roster spot. Much different situation. If Luck is out the whole season I think they would find and sign a 33rd qb that can play
