"Peyton and I had a good visit today, and we've got a plan in
place for his recovery," Broncos coach Gary Kubiak told the
team’s website. "His foot will be in a cast for at least a week,
but he'll be able to be part of meetings and do some workouts
with the rest of the team."
Manning, 39, last took the field on Nov. 15 when he became the
National Football League’s all-time leading passer but endured
one of his worst days as a pro. The five-time league MVP
completed just 5-of-20 passes for 35 yards and four
interceptions in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
He was benched during the performance, and Kubiak later said he
regretted playing Manning because of his health. The Broncos
(8-2) have turned to backup Brock Osweiler in the meantime as
they try to steady their course and return a healthy Manning in
time for a playoff run.
