Manning is rehabbing his left foot, right shoulder and ribs. Mark Haas at CBS Denver has reported the same.

Bronco’s beat reporter Mike Haas confirmed the report as Manning is focusing on recovery 100 percent.
Injured quarterback Peyton Manning isn’t making the trip to Chicago for Sunday’s game between the Denver Broncos and the Bears. He’s never started an National Football League game, and Denver’s running game has been wildly inconsistent, particularly ineffective the last two games after a huge night against the Packers. His 21 touchdown passes in the first 9 games this season ties the amount he had last season in all 16 games. “You want to be able to play at a certain level”.
While Ware expressed confidence he’ll be back in the lineup for the Broncos’ showdown with New England next week, there’s no timetable for Manning’s return.
“We got three guys who can do a lot of different stuff and create mismatches”.
Renck: Regardless of how Osweiler plays Sunday, I believe Manning should sit out against the Patriots next week. He continually did the one thing a player in his position is supposed to do. Needless to say, Manning will go down as one of the greatest ever but one can only imagine just how great of a mentor he can be to someone like Osweiler. “I could go give him all of the work, mentally, that he needs”.
Otherwise, Chicago will just sit back in coverage and wait on throws, like teams have done all season against Manning. He’s also couldn’t have been learning from a better quarterback mind than Manning over the last few seasons, and Gary Kubiak said Wednesday he won’t scale the offense back with Osweiler running the show. A player who exceeds expectation, by say, throwing for 12 yards on a 3rd-and-8, accrues positive NEP for that play for extending the drive.
“I really have not wasted a single day when I’ve been here in this building in the room with Peyton”, he said. I’d stay away from any of the guys listed here, unless you’re in a fairly deep league. We averaged 3.8 per carry, and that’s not good enough.
Tom Brady’s favourite target should be out six to eight weeks, which essentially rules him out for the rest of the fantasy season. Hurt and diminished, Manning was so terrible against Kansas City it hurt to watch.
He wants to go and do everything he can for his football team … but only, apparently, on his own terms.
“Defense wins championships”, Marshall said. ” … that may not actually be the case”. At training camp that summer, Hanie befriended the Broncos’ ballyhooed 6-foot-8-inch, second-round draft pick who competed with him to be the No. 2 quarterback behind Manning.
Hoyer returned to the practice field Friday for the first time since suffering a concussion that caused memory loss, but he worked off to the side with a trainer.
Promoting Gase to head coach would’ve been a signal that the Broncos were fully invested in Manning for this season. He’s solid against the pass but has been beaten in run blocking here and there (though that could be said of our whole line to be fair to him).
As an overall league, the NFL hasn’t been this inconsistent in over 20 years.
“[Manning] stood back there with me; we talked a little bit”, Kubiak said. If you can still get 7.5 somewhere, even better.
Gase clicked with Manning over the previous three years and earned his endorsement for any coaching jobs he hoped to pursue.
“We stuck together and just kept fighting”, Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill said after the game. Tony Romo, recovering from a broken collarbone, has been on the Cowboys’ sideline. Ben Roethlisberger donned a headset and became a de facto assistant coach while he missed time with a knee injury. Manning, meanwhile, won’t be around to help Osweiler on Sunday, because he thinks he won’t be of any help.
