He’s making progress in his recovery from a torn plantar fascia, but QB Brock Osweiler will get another start this weekend against the Steelers, the Broncos announced Wednesday.

N.W.A. To Be Inducted Into Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame
Thanks to all the fans who have supported us for all these years and to the Hall of Fame members who cast their votes. All nominated artists had to have put out their first album or single at least 25 years ago to be in consideration.
The Broncos play the Cincinnati Bengals Monday night, so it is expected Kubiak as well as Manning and the team’s medical staff will decide Tuesday whether the 39-year-old will make another attempt to return to practice in the coming week.
“Early in the week it looked like there was a chance Peyton Manning could regain the starting role for the Denver Broncos”.
The Denver Broncos have decided on their signal caller for Monday’s game against Cincinnati as they roll with Brock Osweiler for the sixth consecutive game. With two wins, the Broncos would be guaranteed at least the No. 2 seed, with a first-round bye and a home game in the divisional round.
Manning scaled back his workouts after what Kubiak called “a hiccup” December 18 – experiencing pain after a workout – so he went back to the workout regimen he followed the week before in an effort to ease his way back onto the field without causing more damage to his foot.
The Denver Broncos are playing the biggest challenge of their schedule, against the Bengals, with Peyton Manning as the emergency backup quarterback.
Osweiler and the Broncos jumped out to a hefty lead against the Steelers last week but scored zero second half points for the third straight game while losing their second straight.
“Watching that kid play, I mean, he’s something else, does it all day, plays extremely hard the entire game”, Kubiak said.
The Denver Broncos are sticking with Brock Osweiler. For me, it’s just all about doing whatever is best for this football team, and being prepared to play. But he completed just seven of his 26 pass attempts in the final two quarters of the contest, according to Denver NBC affiliate 9News.
Thomas was wide open when he dropped a perfectly thrown pass with less than 3 minutes left and the Broncos down 7.
Kubiak attended Manning’s throwing session Saturday but had viewed the others on video. “That’s what we’re focused on right now”. And they’ll need to spark Ronnie Hillman (3.4 yards per carry over the last four games) if they want to protect any potential lead.

“That’s why he’s a Pro Bowl player, and I think there is even more to come down the road for him”, Kubiak said, adding.
