Peyton Manning 'surprised' he was on injury report

After an offseason of inquiry into Peyton Manning's health and future in Denver, the old gunslinger did nothing to prove the doubters wrong Sunday. Manning threw for 175 yards, one duck of an interception and zero touchdowns in the Broncos' 19-13 win over the Ravens.

To add injury to insult, Manning was listed on the Broncos' injury report Monday as a full participant with a back injury, fueling suspicion that the veteran is struggling with a lingering issue.

With the Broncos' Thursday night showdown with the division-rival Chiefs just two days away, Manning told the media Tuesday that his appearance on the injury report was a shock to him as well.
