Colts sign Gray, Lorenzen

According to the Indianapolis Star, the Colts have signed two quarterbacks.

The first is Quinn Gray, a twenty-nine year old who has been the backup for the Jaguars, also starting four games(2-2). He has some skills, and is capable of winning some games when he’s called upon.

The second is Jared Lorenzen, a recently released Giants backup. At 6-4 and weighing 285 pounds, Lorenzen is more interesting than good. As entertaining as it is to watch a man of his size play, he hasn’t thrown the ball well in year’s past, and it’s tough to see him making the team.

However, one of these two could make it for the first game. That’s because of Peyton Manning’s injured knee, which required surgery last week. They may elect to carry three quarterbacks on the roster(Manning, Sorgi) until they are fully confident that Manning’s knee is completely healed.

In fact, could this possibly be a sign that Indy isn’t sure if Manning will be OK to start to the season? I doubt it, but keep it in mind.
