Denver Broncos: Will Peyton Manning Replace Brock Osweiler?
Broncos coach Gary Kubiak has confirmed that Peyton Manning will resume practice on Wednesday, which could mean a very awkward situation is just days away from coming to a head.

“A little bit more, a few more periods”, Kubiak said Thursday of Manning’s workload.
Mike Klis, the Denver Broncos beat reporter for Denver’s 9NEWS, writes that quarterback Peyton Manning suffered a minor setback in Friday’s practice at the Broncos’ Englewood team facility.
Despite Manning’s return to practice, Brock Osweiler is still the starter, and Manning won’t suit up for this weekend’s game in Pittsburgh. “We’ll have a plan in place by the time we get to Wednesday, but we’ll see where we’re at today and kind of take it a day at a time”. Any time a defense holds a team to 15 points, I believe you should win the football game…
Manning has said his doctors don’t know if or when he’ll be able to return to action this season.
The Broncos (10-3) practiced indoors.
Kubiak’s standard offense puts the QB under center for the majority of snaps, whereas Manning has been running a hybrid offense that includes a lot of pistol-based formations.
Asked if Osweiler, who is 3-1 since replacing Manning last month, could keep the starting job even if Manning is cleared to play, Kubiak declined to speculate.
The back-up quarterback had tasted victory in all three of his career starts before the weekend, but he and the Broncos had an afternoon to forget in Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
Manning is recovering from a torn plantar fascia and Osweiler was named the starting quarterback for the fourth consecutive game Sunday at Pittsburgh.
“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.
“No, I couldn’t make a judgment” based on one practice, Kubiak said.
Osweiler completed a career-best 35 of 51 passes for 308 yards, his first 300-yard game, but he was sacked five times by Khalil Mack and several receivers dropped on-target passes.
“I’m expecting Brock to continue to play well, but I’m going to stay focused a week at a time”, Kubiak said. I know how we ended last week, and I know what I’ve been doing since 5 o’clock this morning.
