Colts QB Peyton Manning came out on to the practice field for the first time in months after being reactivated from the Physically Unable to Perform list after his neck injury earlier this year.

After being put on the PUP for nearly a month now, the four-time MVP jogged on to the field in his No. 18 jersey, giving hope to thousands of his fans that he may really be able to play in the season opener due in Houston on September 11. Though that fact is yet to be confirmed, a positive-sounding Peyton Manning said of his break from the Colts and his possible comeback at the season opener, “That’s kind of been my goal all along, trying to get better and I know everybody’s into predictions and everybody wants to have the breaking news. But I just can’t give you any more than what I’m giving you.”

Peyton Manning said that he wouldn’t be playing in Thursday’s preseason finale in Cincinnati. Though he said that he feels healthy enough now to “take a snap or play a series to keep his consecutive-games streak intact,” he insists that he’s not about to do that. “Like I said the other night, I have to be able to competitively play. I have too much respect for football. I’ve got to be able to compete and to help my team win, and that’s what’s fair to the team, fair to myself.” The Colts will sure be glad to have him back on the field but at this point it may be too early to say what his first game will be after being taken off the PUP list.

Actress Minka Kelly of Saturday Night Lights fame and New York Yankee Derek Jeter have called it quits after being together for a good three years, a representative for Kelly has said. Another report says that they parted on good terms and that the break up was “amicable”, and that they are still friends.

Derek Jeter and Minka Kelly aren’t the only famous couple who have called it quits this year. Another pair, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have also parted ways after being married for seven years. That separation happened in July of this year.

Minka Kelly is apparently not letting her career take a back seat to the split with Yankees Derek Jeter, and is getting set to play alongside two other leading ladies in a reincarnated version of the 1970s hit television series “Charlie’s Angels”. The other main character in the film is the mysterious Charlie who is known only by voice, and Bosley, a computer hacker played by Ramon Rodriguez. Since the series is being filmed in Miami, Kelly may no longer be able to make appearances on NBC’s Parenthood, which is based out of Los Angeles. As for calling it quits with Derek Jeter, neither of them have made any formal announcements about the break up.
