Colts Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

When word broke on Thursday that Colts quarterback Peyton Manning had been cleared by his doctor to resume his football career, team owner Jim Irsay was quick to downplay the news via his Twitter account, writing, "Peyton has not passed our physical nor has he been cleared to play for The Indianapolis Colts. Team statement coming on Friday."

Those expecting that statement to clarify matters are apparently in for a disappointment.

On Friday afternoon, the Colts released a statement on their website saying, "Peyton Manning, Jim Irsay and the entire Colts family remain close and unified as we continue to work through all the options that relate to his future with the Colts.

"The present focus is on the Super Bowl and the great game that awaits."
