Manning took reps with the second-string offense on Friday and helped run the scout team while starting quarterback Brock Osweiler ran the first team.

During that same period more than 15,000 Palestinians and 350 Israelis were wounded, the United Nations said on Wednesday. Police said the motive for the attack remained unclear, and little was known about the attacker who had his face covered.
Osweiler is 4-2 as the starter, including Monday’s win over Cincinnati, which clinched a playoff berth.
As The Sporting News points out, this marks the first time in his lengthy 18 year career that he will be a backup quarterback in the NFL.
Wednesday marked Manning’s first full practice since November 13.

Dontrelle Inman was Rivers’ favorite target in a 23-20 overtime loss to Oakland on Christmas Eve, hauling in eight receptions for 82 yards. “I’ve tried to be there for Brock and be there for any questions they’ve had but I think I can be more of a help to the team now that I’m more available”, Manning said. And the long-term plan through the playoffs is for Osweiler to start; Manning to back up. Osweiler completed 27 of 39 passes for 299 yards with one TD to guide the Broncos (11-4) to their critical 20-17 overtime victory over AFC North champion Cincinnati on Monday.
