Indianapolis Colts star wide receiver Marvin Harrison will have elbow surgery Monday. The surgery, which will be performed in his hometown of Philadelphia, is for an injury sustained during the 2005 season. Harrison, who caught 82 passes for 1,146 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2005, left Sunday's final minicamp workout early to catch a flight. "(The surgery) was planned, but we just couldn't get a late flight to get back him back there in time," coach Tony Dungy said. "But he's doing fine and made it through four practices really well."

Indianapolis Colts' quarterback Peyton Manning is at the top of his career in more ways than one. After winning two MVP's and flirting with perfection last year, Manning said that he would like to play eight more years before hanging them up. This will take him through the 2013 season nad leave him at 38 when he eventually retires. "Yeah, I guess that I'll be handing off on the 'stretch' play when I'm an old man, huh?" said Manning, laughing, as he referred to the Colts' staple running play. "It might take a little more to stretch when I'm 38 years old. "I've been lucky from a health standpoint, and I feel really good," Manning said. "The injuries I've had, we've been able to deal with them. I don't see, at least now, why I can't play 16 seasons."

Nick Harper remains unhappy will his current contract. However, that will not stop the Indianapolis cornerback from participating in the Colts first minicamp. "Even though things are not right between me and people in the front office, I didn't want to be the person labeled as a (troublemaker),'' Harper said Wednesday. "You're going to get what you deserve if you hold out. They put that bad label on you when you do that.'' However, don't confuse Harper's appearance with him coming to grips with his contract situation. He's in the final year of a contract that will pay him $1.4 million this season. He considers that below market value for a starting cornerback. "No, I'm not happy,'' he said, "but I'm just going to do my job. At the end of the day, that's all you can do.''
