Broncos injury update: Peyton Manning 'surprised' to be on injury report

[Denver Native (Carol)]

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Peyton Manning was listed on the injury report with a back injury, but Head Coach Gary Kubiak wasn't worried about his quarterback and says he was "okay" after having a full practice workload Monday night.

"He's just sore coming out of the game," Kubiak said. "He took some shots."

Manning did not expect to be listed on the injury report.

"I was kind of surprised that I was on it, to tell you the truth," Manning said. "But I think it was a pretty physical game on Sunday, so in many ways, maybe I'm honored to be on it."Manning absorbed four sacks Sunday -- the most he's had in a game since Oct. 20, 2013 against the Indianapolis Colts -- and was hit once more by Kyle Arrington as he threw the pass that Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith intercepted and returned for a touchdown.

It makes sense. So that's why he didn't play well.

I watched the video earlier today and knew you'd post it. I suggest others to watch. It was hilarious.

It wasn't a big injury.

The NFL refuses to even consider expanding to Los Vegas because it doesn't to appear to be endorsing gambling, yet they insist on their teams making these injury reports to benefit who...?

It might have something to do with the fact the NFL use to have a big problem with coaches making players play hurt.

Everybodies back hurts...Peytons chiropractor probably cracked his back so they put him on the list

If this policy came about in the last 10-15 years, when players started suing the NFL over injuries suffered while playing, then I could buy that argument. However, this policy as been in place long before the league started worrying so much about player's health.

I have a fantasy team to run. I need to know who's hurt.
