Isray wrote on Twitter that there is an "outside chance" Manning might return in December, updating Colts fans on the quarterback's status after comments he made during a private breakfast with Super Bowl donors.
"I didn't say Peyton out 4season FOR SURE, keeping him on ActiveRoster n taking it month by month/Outside chance of return n December possible," Isray wrote.
Team spokesman Avis Roper said Manning's status has not changed and he has not been placed on injured reserve, which would end the four-time league MVP's season.
It was really weird seeing Manning in the coaches' box while Curtis Painter attempted to lead a Colts comeback against the Pittsburgh Steelers on "Sunday Night Football." Manning had started 227 consecutive games before off-season neck surgery caused him to miss all three games so far this season.
Painter, the team's third-string quarterback, came into Sunday's game in the fourth quarter after the struggling Kerry Collins left to be evaluated for a possible concussion. The Colts lost the game, 23-20, and dropped to 0-3 this season.
