Gary Kubiak says Peyton Manning had ‘good workout’
After handing the New England Patriots their first loss of the season, Osweiler struggled against a mediocre Oakland Raiders team. Through five National Football League starts, Brock Osweiler has looked like a seasoned veteran – and a wide-eyed rookie.
They’ve run the ball well most of the time, but were held to just 34 rushing yards in the loss to the Raiders.
“We’re a team, we’re brothers”, Marshall said. “He will make the trip and be part of everything we are doing, be on the sidelines or the press box”. “I’m not going to talk about what’s going on three weeks from now or two weeks from now”. “I know that he was happy to be back”.
“That’s the next step, that he’s coming back to practice, and if you’re coming back to practice, then you’re working toward getting back on the field playing. We don’t point fingers around here”. Osweiler took the blame for the loss Sunday, as did Shiloh Keo.
“It was good to see him back”, wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders.
Still, Kubiak said Monday he’s not concerned about the locker room splintering. We’re not supposed to lose that game. The Broncos expect he will be able to play in Pittsburgh, barring any unexpected setbacks.
Denver’s eight-game winning streak over the Raiders ended despite allowing just 126 yards of offense, including 27 yards on 24 rushes.
-Brandon McManus missed a game-tying field goal after nailing four in the first half when the offense kept stalling.
“Peyton’s got plenty of sense, so when everything’s done at the end of the year he’ll sit down and make a decision”, Archie Manning said. “Absolutely. If they do, we’ll have a plan for it and that goes back to what we do on Mondays”, Osweiler said. He noted Schofield has played through an ankle injury.
“Obviously it’s a coverage we should have handled better”, Kubiak said. “He came out on Thursday, went about five minutes and said it was bothering him, so we shut him down”. We’ve got confidence in those guys. “He’s trying to get well”.
His status this year is up in the air, and head coach Gary Kubiak has already named Osweiler the starter in Week 15 despite the fact that Manning returned to practice this week.

But he says he’s moved on and says the team is ready and focused on the Steelers.
