Kubiak: "Our defense was fighting their tail off ... I was so impressed (with the D) yesterday."

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 28m

Emmanuel Sanders is expected to "have a normal week" this week. He sustained a finger injury Sunday, Kubiak said.

#Broncos' Kubiak on if Brock could start beyond this week:
"We are all in this week. I haven't gone past today."

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 12m

#Broncos Kubiak talked at length w Manning today. Told him he wants him focus on recovery. They will meet again and assess next step.

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 24m

Big step for Kubiak today. He is players coach. But made mistake in letting Manning play. Took it out of his hands today.That was right move

Kubiak on Ward ejection: “Another frustrating penalty. Two guys going after it after a tough [TD]. We can’t lose our captain on the field."

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 28m

Talib back in the building and back at work.. #Broncos ..

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 30m

#Broncos really like Siemian.. He will be the backup...

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 32m

You will see a different looking offense this Sunday. Osweiler will line up primarily under center. Boots, play-actions, stretches, etc.

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 33m

Kubiak acknowledges that Peyton still wants to play. Praises him for his competitiveness. But a coach has to make that decision. Not player.

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 37m

Broncos were at the same crossroads a year ago when Manning played with a strained quad. Should have rested him.

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 39m

Kubiak: "This is a little bit different for him [Osweiler], but I know he'll do a great job in his preparation."

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 39m

Kubiak said "the grind of the season" has worn Manning down.

Lindsay Jones ‏@bylindsayhjones 45m

Kubiak: All of our attention will be to get Peyton back healthy. ... I know that's the best decision for him.

More @snakestakes: "A healthy Peyton Manning in December is better than a banged up Peyton Manning right now in November."

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 6m

Brock "Peyton has been extremely supportive. Said to let him know if he could help. Peyton is the leader of this team"

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 7m

Osweiler "I have been preparing like I would start. That's how have to approach it. The more I play the more I learn"

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 8m

Osweiler "my teammates have been very supportive.... Last night getting reps helped my confidence."

.@VernonDavis85 said he wasn't surprised by the news. "Peyton is hurt and the next guy has to step up. That's how it has to be."

#Manning: "This is a new offense for both [@bosweiler17] and I; he's gotten a lot of reps through camp & practices. ... That always helps."

Denver Broncos ‏@Broncos 10m10 minutes ago UCHealth Training Center

#Manning: "I told [@bosweiler17] I am here for him as a resource if he needs me, but I'm not going to be one of those 'extra voices.'"

Aqib Talib: "He seems like he's superman but he's really like anyone else. As a team we knew Peyton was banged up."

Nicki Jhabvala ‏@NickiJhabvala 2m2 minutes ago

Aqib Talib said he stayed in touch with his teammates all last week. "Back to work."

Nicki Jhabvala ‏@NickiJhabvala 2m2 minutes ago

Talib: "We've seen a lot of Brock. We're confident. We know what he can do."

Denver Broncos ‏@Broncos 2m2 minutes ago

#Talib: "It's not going to just be on Brock. There will be 10 other guys out there with him."

Brock sure seems like a stand up guy - let's hope he can play as well as he talks.

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 8m

#broncos Manning said dealing w multiple injuries. That isn't one thing. Left foot,and rib cage issue. Needs to use time to get healthy

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 31m

#broncos Manning "I need to use this week and dedicate time to active rest if you will. It's disappointing that I am hurt"

Good to see the teammates supporting Osweiler. I know it's tough to sit, but I hope Peyton focuses on helping Osweiler rather than pouting. This is what I gathered from the news here.

Say what you want about Manning's season. Was true professional today. Faced the media in terrible circumstances. Made no excuses. #Broncos

Manning: 'I think the week can help me'

Peyton Manning talks about how this week will help him get healthy, as he will not being playing against the Bears.

With all due respect: You've got at least THREE SEPARATE injuries by my count; will a SINGLE week really be enough? Come back to soon and aggravate any of them and that's pretty much season-ending; it's the kind of logic that got us into this mess. It's not like the protection's going to improve sooo much in that lone week. I wish Kubes had had the resolve to go with his gut and bench Manning LAST week, so the injury didn't get worse and he had TWO weeks to heal up before Belicheat comes to town.

So much better watching that than reading 800 tweets that say the same thing. Thanks Carol.

I'm sure all 800 of those tweets are posted multiple times in multiple threads here.

Might sound crazy, but couldn't we of just said it in the locker room that Oz is starter without telling the media? Or is that impossible to do so? Just thinking it would've made the Bears prepare for Manning as opposed to Oz.

Couple off the field things i love about Brock: he's really involved with Rocky Mountain Childrens Hospital,he often tweets about kids thereand how they are his inspiration. Also, he signed every single person's paper at last season's scrimmage. He was out with the fans at the tunnel for a good hour to hour and a half.
