The news that Peyton Manning is expected to be sidelined 4-6 weeks after undergoing surgery to remove an infected bursa sac in his knee will have a significant effect on the Colts’ training-camp structure. Throughout his career, Manning has taken almost all the reps in camp and in practices, contrary to the practice followed by most teams, which give backup quarterbacks many practice repetitions. Now, Jim Sorgi, who has been little more than a practice dummy throughout his four-year career, will be thrust under center and asked to take the lion’s share of snaps, though ex-Jaguar Quinn Gray, whom the team signed to a one-year contract on the eve of training camp, and undrafted rookie Adam Tafralis will also get some opportunities. Gray, 29, started four games in his three seasons in Jacksonville with a 2-2 record.
