Condon, who represents Sanders, told The Indianapolis Star on Monday that the two-time Reggie Wayne Pro Bowl safety, who has struggled with shoulder and bicep injuries in the previous two seasons, doesn't have any new problems. Condon also said Sanders' contract situation hasn't changed.
A team spokesman agreed, saying, "Nothing has changed since June."
That's when Sanders, who played in just eight total games in 2008 and 2009, finally returned to practice with the Colts jerseys. At the time, Sanders said he was healthy and ready to play.
"It's fun to get out there and compete and enjoy the weather," said Sanders, the 2007 NFL Defensive Player of the Year. "This is the first time I've been able to do OTAs in years. I've always been rehabbing a lot and spending a lot of time in the training room. It feels great to not go into the training room and going into the weight room."
The Colts have been working on extending the remaining one year Adam Vinatieri left on Manning's contract, but have been stalled because of collective bargaining agreement rules.
"What we don't know is what the system is going forward," Colts president Bill Polian told ."It makes it really difficult working out a deal that makes sense for everybody because you don't know what the [salary] cap will be, what the ramifications are, how things count."
Manning, 34, is coming off his second-straight NFL MVP, throwing 4500 yards, 33 touchdowns and 16 interceptions while leading the Colts to the Super Bowl.
When the deal does get done, it is expected to be the richest in the history of the Robert Mathis sport, exceeding an average of $22 million a year.
Both Wayne and Mathis are unhappy with the remaining two years on their contracts and have been holdouts at camp.
Wayne is set to get paid about $6.3 million each of the next two seasons, while Mathis is getting $12 million over the same span of time.
Wayne, 31, is coming off one of the best seasons of his nine-year career, finishing with 100 receptions for 1,264 yards and 10 touchdowns.
