Manning will not play Sunday in the season opener at Houston, bringing an end to his streak of 227 consecutive starts, including the playoffs.
On Monday, less than two hours after being activated from the physically unable to perform list, Manning told reporters it was the next step in his recovery from neck surgery in May.

As the Bears head into a bye week, we couldn't help but share with you some amusing quotes from the NFL season. Who said he was the best but didn't want to say it? What did the Cowboys' adviser have to say about the team's $54,896 dinner? How did Jay Cutler feel about throwing four picks to DeAngelo Hall?
Has Jay Cutler been a disappointment as a Bear? Obviously 2009 didn't end the way anyone wanted it to but you can't argue what Jay has been able to do in his last 15 starts where he's compiled a QB-rating of 93.8 and won 11 games.
