Timeline for Broncos QB Peyton Manning’s return in question

“He is going to be a major contributor for our team”. We could tell in the things that he says week to week, how he prepares. “We didn’t get many [calls] last night”. I don’t know why or why not. I totally understand that. “I have no clue”. “He is going to be a major contributor for our team”, Brady said. I’d love for it to be healthy yesterday, I can assure you… there’s no guarantee whatsoever. That was just one of those situations last week where we didn’t play as well as we would’ve liked to for 60 minutes.

“You know, I’m not really focused with how long am I going to be the starter?”.

-Tight end Scott Chandler continues to struggle to find a rapport working with quarterback Tom Brady. “We’ll just take it a day at a time right now”. That may may explain why referees are on the lookout for infractions, but, when the rate of those penalties called per game is the same as a year ago, it doesn’t allay fears that the officials are picking on one player. The list of players who were hurt headed in was tough on the team while they lost Dont’a Hightower, an outside linebacker, and star tight end Rob Gronkowski in the contest.

“During Sunday night ” s game, Rob Gronkowski sustained a bone bruise/sprain of his right knee.

At 10-1, the Patriots still have the upper hand over the Broncos, who are 9-2, but more losses could ruin New England’s chances at home-field advantage in the playoffs.

“This is kind of when ‘they” and “sources” seem to show their heads a little bit”, Manning said Wednesday.

Brady agreed with that point of view.

“I’m not surprised at all”, receiver Andre Caldwell said.

“So I vented my frustration about that, and they said if you guys have any questions on that, call them, because they said it was a poorly officiated play”, Mularkey said.

“It is. But while I’m out, I’m trying to do whatever I can to help”. He has only started two games so far this season, and teams could figure him out and cause him problems. Receiver Danny Amendola (knee) was inactive, missing his first game of the season with the injury suffered a week earlier against the Bills.

That likely will serve as the final word from anybody in the Patriots organization until Gronkowski returns to the field.

Twice in the Sunday night game in Denver, Gronkowski was flagged for offensive pass intereference.

Brock Osweiler has played two and a half games for an injured Peyton Manning, but a new report claims that the Denver Broncos now plan to start him for the rest of the year.

Brady has never been 'so pissed off' after loss but Gronkowski fears ease
