Before Colts quarterback Peyton Manning had his most recent neck surgery, he took a trip to Europe for a last-ditch effort to avoid going under the knife once again.
Jay Glazer of FOX reports that Manning flew to Europe for a stem cell therapy that currently is not approved for use in the United States.
The therapy apparently didn’t work, given that Manning still had the surgery. But it confirms that Manning will do whatever he has to do to play again.
