National Football League notebook: Peyton Manning out, Brock Osweilier in for Denver Broncos

“I’ve never met a player who agreed to that”, Kubiak said about Manning’s reaction.

Manning has been dealing with a foot injury in recent weeks and that injury hindered the quarterback on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Manning had a 0.0 passer rating with four interceptions in the Denver Broncos’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs before being benched for backup Brock Osweiler in the second half.

“All the attention is toward getting him healthy”, Kubiak said. “That decision has been made”.

Reid said after that game that the decision to make Davis inactive was because of the special-teams skills of defensive back Saalim Hakim, who was recently signed off the practice squad.

Peyton Manning comes off of his worst performance as a professional in week 10, completing just 20 percent of his passes (five for 20) for 35 yards and four interceptions.

And now that looks even more likely, as ESPN is reporting that Manning has a torn plantar fascia. “I’m disappointed about that”.

“I just want to try to get healthy this week”, Manning said.

League spokesman Michael Signora said that the Jaguars should have been called for a false start on quarterback Blake Bortles’ final snap of the game because not all of their offensive linemen were set before the snap.

Quarterbacks typically have the longest shelf life of any position in the NFL-foot speed isn’t so important in their crafts-and so it’s not impossible for them to keep going into their late 30’s. He was sidelined for the entire 2011 season while recovering from multiple neck surgeries while with the Indianapolis Colts. “All of a sudden I knew I was supposed to play football, and I knew I was going to Arizona State”. I’ve gotta do what’s best for the player, for the team. “He has always prepared hard and I think he’ll take advantage of this opportunity”. “I told him that whatever help I can give him, I’m here for him, but I’m going to let him come to me on those things because he’s going to have plenty on his plate”.

Oh, the irony of poor Archie Manning uttering “I hate football” while in NY to endorse DirecTV’s Sunday Ticket – a sports package that allowed him to watch both quarterback sons lose at the same time. The former second-round pick has been sitting behind Manning on the depth chart since he was drafted in 2012. After replacing Manning against the Chiefs, he connected on 14 of 24 passes for 146 yards with one TD, one interception and a 72.6 passer rating. “He went in there and played with a lot of confidence the other night”. “To be out there with those guys on that field and gain those reps, gain that experience and build that camaraderie with those guys was huge”. Hillman had more yards and more touches than Anderson on Sunday and with Osweiler coming in, there is a good chance the running backs will be involved in the offense on Sunday. He was sacked several time in the games previous because the O line could not protect him as a result he is hurting right now. Now, just seven regular-season games before his contract expires, he has the chance to show that he can, indeed, be the Broncos’ quarterback of the future.
