Broncos QB Manning sits out practice with foot soreness
Broncos coach Gary Kubiak told reporters he wanted to meet individually with Peyton Manning on Monday and Tuesday before definitively naming a starting quarterback for Sunday’s game in Pittsburgh.

“I’d been having some symptoms that I’ve been dealing with”, Manning said.
As playoffs approach the Broncos are slowly starting to get healthy as a team including Peyton Manning who was able to practice with the team for the first time in nearly a month. The Broncos now hold the No. 3 seed in the AFC, behind the New England Patriots and Bengals, and a two-game lead in the AFC West over the red-hot Kansas City Chiefs. But he said Manning took a “step in the right direction” in his return from a torn plantar fascia in his left foot Wednesday. Although the offense has struggled the last two games, going without a touchdown since its first series in San Diego on December 6, it remains more productive on a per-possession basis with Osweiler than Manning, and has avoided the string of multiple-interception games that hindered the Broncos in October and early November. It’s hard to see them going all the way if home field advantage isn’t on their side, which is something they let slip away from them with the shocking home loss to the Raiders. “We thought he would be ready to go”, Kubiak said.
Osweiler has developed a strong backing from the fans and presumably from the players and coaches alike, raising questions to whether or not Peyton Manning would actually even play if or when he came back from injury anyway. This compared to Manning’s double digit interception totals, and the Steelers might wish they were facing the future Hall of Fame quarterback. Osweiler threw 51 times, completing 35 passes for 308 yards, no scores and no turnovers.
Manning, 39, has been in the National Football League (NFL) since getting drafted in 1998 and is playing his fourth season with the thriving Broncos. It seems the Steelers have gone all-in on preparing for Osweiler to quarterback the Broncos this Sunday.

There was also another familiar face back on the field at practice Wednesday.

The Broncos have scored just 29 points in their last two games (win over the Chargers, loss to the Raiders). “But yeah, it’s a little different watching Peyton run scout team”. “Defensive-wise, we played great”.
