Manning returns to practice, but Osweiler still the starter

Coach Gary Kubiak said Wednesday that Manning has made enough progress from his foot injury to return to practice.

Elway also set up Manning to fail this season, removing the legendary quarterback’s comfort zone and, as a result, helping turn the best offense in franchise history into a liability.

“I’m happy to be more of a part of it now than just being in street clothes and kind of quarantined in the indoor facility and work on out on my own”, he said.

Peyton Manning is expected to be in uniform for the Denver Broncos’ regular-season finale, barring a setback.

Even though the Broncos are going with Osweiler over a seemingly healthy Manning on Sunday, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll stick to that in the playoffs. “A coach once told me – no offense to anybody – ‘Close your ears to all of that and focus on your job'”.

Meanwhile, Manning continued to deny having used HGH following an Al Jazeera story that implied a connection.

WARE BACK TO FULL SPEED: “The reins are off” for OLB DeMarcus Ware, Head Coach Gary Kubiak said Thursday after another full day of practice that followed three games of increasing repetitions.

“I feel like I am a decent tight end in this league, and I should be out there more”, he said. Great win in front of the best fans in the world, they supported us all night.

Smith, 36, has played 15 National Football League seasons – the first 13 with the Panthers. He has only 11 receptions for 159 yards and a touchdown. To sum it up, he produced and completed about 60 percent of his passes, to go along with four interceptions and nine touchdowns. “Hopefully, somewhere down the road I’ll look back on all of that”. “I’m quite sure they would pick up the slack at any instance if a guy is banged up”. “There’s a lot of things we wish we could’ve had back”. I’m going to give this team everything I have every single week.

“In my mind, it’s let’s not let Denver play another home game this year”, Rivers said. He helped us out at halftime.

– Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel apparently will not play in his team’s final Sunday, but it’s not because the team disciplined him for his latest off-field issue.

All that running around on the field caught up with Johnny Manziel.

Marshall tweaked his ankle in an overtime win over Cincinnati on Monday when he tackled Giovani Bernard and someone rolled over his foot.

“You’ve got to open your heart to players and everybody you want to achieve peak performance”, Lurie said Wednesday. “I don’t know. I’ll get it checked out tomorrow and we’ll see”.

Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips said that Todd Davis would fill in for Marshall if he can’t play.

It’s safe to say that Bengals Nation would really like to avoid Pittsburgh if possible, but that still leaves the Jets, who just knocked of New England, or Kansas City who hasn’t lost since October. “We thought we were going to finish it with the field goal but at the end of the game, it’s all about that win”. The Broncos will have fewer ways to beat teams in these playoffs as a result. I have a bit more confidence with that than an unproven Trevor Seimian in the playoffs. It’s a weird feeling walking across center court, looking down at that logo.

“I’ll do whatever I can to help get a win on Sunday”. When Peyton is playing, he loves to throw the ball and they avoid the running game.
