Most articles say torn so of course he is writing that. Funny you are more interested in Peyton than the Patriots.

Why wouldn't I be more interested in Peyton? His future is currently uncertain and he's one of the best QB's to ever play the game? If his issues late in the season were due to injury, then it could mean he could see the field again.
The Broncos diagnosed Manning with a strained quad (yes, a strain is a partial tear). Had it been a full tear, he would not have played.

If it were a full torn quad, he would not have come back into the Chargers game, and probably been out the rest of the season. Pats had a player go down with a torn Quad (I think it was Andre Carter) and he was lost for the season.
