Peyton Manning held out of practice with foot soreness
Kubiak has said that when Manning is healthy enough to play that he will start again over Osweiler.

Manning has been sidelined since mid-November with a torn plantar fascia that required a cast or boot for 10 days.
Manning returned to practice on Wednesday, the first time in a month that he has been able to go through drills with the team.
Manning was removed in the third quarter of that game and has neither practiced nor played since.
Having already been ruled out for Sunday’s game in Pittsburgh, quarterback Peyton Manning was scratched from Friday’s practice after feeling some soreness in his foot earlier in the day. “We gave him the weekend off, so we’ll see where we’re at”, Kubiak said of Manning.
“It was a little odd to watch Peyton take those scout team reps today”, Osweiler said after Wednesday’s workout.
Oakland Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack (52) sacks Denver Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler (17) during the second half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Dec. 13, 2015, in Denver. Denver hasn’t scored an offensive touchdown in its last 23 possessions, not since the opening drive two Sundays ago. If Manning’s body is simply deteriorating and he can’t make throws, Kubiak might decide to ride it out with Osweiler.
With Manning back at practice, Osweiler was asked if he felt pressure to perform well against Pittsburgh to make a case for keeping his starting job regardless of Manning’s status.
What Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak wants to see from Manning is simple: the same quarterback who shredded the Packers in Week 7 before struggling thereafter.
Currently, the Broncos are first in the American Football Conference (AFC) West with a 10-3 record. He is not expected to play this weekend-Brock Osweiler is still the starter, but probably not for long. On Sunday, he hit career highs in attempts (51), completions (35) and yards (308), but the Broncos lost to the Raiders 15-12 and haven’t scored a touchdown in 23 consecutive possessions over the past two games. “I have a lot of faith in both of those guys”, Green said.

In an interview with WDSU-TV in New Orleans, his father, Archie Manning, said the injury has been bothering Manning since the offseason. “Brock is definitely a competitor and Peyton, I’ve seen him pick defenses apart like it’s nothing”. Despite missing the last month, Manning still manages to lead the league in interceptions, with 17.
