Peyton Manning: Peyton Manning can’t do on-field work

The team formally announced on Wednesday. morning in that Brock Osweiler will begin his sixth game on Monday. against the Cincinnati Bengals in a game the Broncos likely need to win to hold on to their direct within the AFC West. Manning will resume practice this current week still isn’t expected to be active as the backup quarterback on Monday. night.

Calling it “a hiccup”, the Broncos then altered Manning’s rehab program for this week, as they returned him to the program he was following before he had rejoined the team on the practice field last week.

First-year quarterback AJ McCarron will have his hands full on Monday when he goes up against a Broncos defense that ranks No. 1 in rushing yards per play allowed, passing yards per play allowed and sacks per pass attempt.

Peyton Manning (foot) has now gone six straight days without doing any on-field work.

“We got ourselves into this situation and I wouldn’t say it’s a bad situation”, wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders said.

“I’m not going to sit here and bash the Pro Bowl selection just because I didn’t get in”, said Jackson, whose reward figures to come as a free agent this off-season. Kubiak has not formally named the starter the past two weeks until later in the week, but the fact Manning will not practice with the team this week means he has had a setback in his recovery.

“I basically gave a leg for my guys, literally”, Bruton said.

Osweiler was injured when he scrambled for 7 yards in the second quarter of Denver’s 34-27 loss at Pittsburgh, where the Broncos (10-4) blew a 17-point lead. Peyton Manning, in the rawest language he’s used on the record since coming to Denver, told reporters after the game that the report was “100 percent bull****”. “This time of year, I think everybody’s banged up”.

The idea of starting the younger, more athletic Brock Osweiler is also going to be a factor to seriously consider. Hopefully we’ll have a good week this week and we’ll see, just trying to get him healthy….

This does not create quarterback controversy because Kubiak is firm on his decision to start Osweiler.

“I am judging my performances by wins and losses and the bottom line is that I need to get a win this week”, Osweiler said. He started better than any quarterback in the National Football League, throwing three touchdowns in the first half and running for another one.

“I haven’t said a thing” to them, Osweiler said.

“I prepared the same way”.

Both seem prone to crucial drops at crucial times. In other words, it’s time to throw the ball to the tight ends more.
