Peyton Manning made his much-anticipated return to practice for the Broncos on Wednesday, but his reps were not for the first team. 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.

Chelsea discuss Drogba return with Montreal
Guus Hiddink has urged the Chelsea squad to “look in the mirror” as they attempt to transform their faltering season. The former Chelsea player still has one year remaining on his deal in Montreal .
The AP reports that Manning will return to Broncos’ practice Wednesday after missing four weeks with a partially-torn plantar fascia. “We went through a good week last week, gave him a weekend off, so we’ll see where he’s at”.
Hiddink tells Chelsea players ‘look in the mirror’
If they don’t have that desire then I will say: “Thank you very much”. “He had a terrific season past year “, Hiddink said. As long as I feel desire, as long as I feel passion [to do the job].
“It’s great to have him back out there”, said Osweiler, who will make his fifth start in place of Manning when the Broncos (10-3) visit the Steelers (8-5). “… We’re a football team and we go about our day that way all the time”. Initially thought to be a sure win game for the Tom Brady team, the match up proved to be the opening needed for backup quarterback Brock Osweiler.
Sanders: Bland wouldn’t have died if she were white
Jordan, citing the confidentiality of the grand jury system, would not say what those charges could be. Officials previously concluded Bland’s autopsy showed no evidence of homicide.
Manning was walking around after practice without any limp. Osweiler was sacked five times in the game and did not throw a touchdown pass, but it was his first 300-yard passing game (308 yards).
Manning isn’t the same player he was during his Colts tenure, or even during the Broncos’ 2013 Super Bowl campaign, when he was at the helm of one of the NFL’s all-time most productive offenses.
It didn’t take long for the still-ailing Manning to strike back.
Though Osweiler remains the starter, Manning appears to be closer to regaining his old job. And on Manning’s side is the perhaps optimistic belief that many of his struggles this year could be attributed to his injuries, especially his inability to push off his foot and get any zip on his throws.
The Steelers are getting ready for the Broncos in Week 15, and when Mike Tomlin was asked which quarterback they were preparing for, his answer was simply. “Until I sit down and see exactly where Peyton’s at, where we’re moving this week”, he said.
The Pittsburgh Steelers sport a dynamic offense, but feels like the pressure is on Denver’s offense rather than the Broncos defense, considering the offense’s poor showing last weekend against Oakland.

Manning has been sidelined for a month with a left foot injury. “I have a lot of faith in both of those guys”, Green said. In fact, Manning now has 17 interceptions on the season as of Week 10.
