Once he sheds the boot, he will begin rehabilitation for the plantar fascia tear in his foot.

The Broncos will use Osweiler’s audition, which is likely to extend another week, to determine his value as a pending free agent. “I said this yesterday, there are still some steps for him to take to get back out there, but I think we have taken some positive steps this week”.
“It’s just a football game at the end of the day”, said Osweiler. Kubiak said that Manning would start again once he is healthy enough, but if Osweiler continues to play well, there is a chance that he could remain the starting quarterback even if Manning can return.
The New England Patriots (10-0) travel to meet the Denver Broncos (8-2) this week in a clash between two of the league’s best. After his impressive performance in his first career start, moving on with Brock Osweiler as the full-time starter has to be considered. I had the same injury years ago and it is a killer; I played adult flag football and my passes looked about as bad as Manning’s did against the Chiefs. Now that both teams are experiencing a number of injuries to key players, it might not be the battle royale we once anticipated.
When asked if the team’s preparation is any different without Peyton Manning calling signals or if having the 6’7 quarterback Brock Osweiler under center would change the Pats defensive pressure.
And while Patricia’s troops are trying to keep Osweiler, Demaryius Thomas and the rest of the Broncos in check, Brady will have his hands full with the Denver defense. Although Rodgers left Denver bruised and battered, Manning, who threw for a season-high 340 yards that night, injured his left foot. The Patriots may see some more good competition as their next opponent will be the Denver Broncos, according to Bleacher Report.
This sack allowed is on Leno, but I thought he had one of his better games this year against Denver. Any AFC team that hopes to reach the Super Bowl is in all likelihood going to have to beat the Patriots.

“They’ve got very talented players – they’ve got them in the front, they’ve got them in the linebacking corps, they’ve got them in the secondary”, New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said. Kubiak also said Monday that decisions about where to proceed in Manning’s treatment would be made when Manning returned from Charlotte on Tuesday. He is 5-foot-11, 202 pounds – 15 lighter than last season – and inflicts pain. The Broncos are giving up only 18.3 points per game, which is second to New England’s 18.2. “Whatever happens after this Thursday is what’s going to matter to our season, and this is when we need to start playing well”.
