Thread: Manning Out Two More Weeks

Will miss next two games.
Christmas for Yashi and the Philippines.

As expected, he can't just rub dirt on that type of foot injury and get back on the field.

Makes sense, this will give the organization enough time to determine whether we stick with Brock for the remainder of the season or go back to Peyton once he's healthy.

He's faking it.

Bringing Christina Ponder in for a look

I thought he had a partial tear that requires at least 12 weeks to fully heal? Is the team rushing him by saying only the next couple of games, or does he not have a partially torn plantar fascia?

I know it's not uncommon for teams to not be super specific with injuries, but I'm guessing this is actually good news considering what the prognosis for a partial tear is.

Still stand by my opinion that he has started his last game as a Bronco. I don't think they want to announce it publicly after just one game though. Assuming Brock doesn't fall apart over the next two weeks, I think they officially make the transition.

Nobody is rushing anything. Kubiak said he won't be available for at least 2 weeks, and he'll be in a boot for a week. He didn't say he'll only moss two more weeks.

He won't even be practicing.

Cool. I didn't ask anything about any of that though. I asked if he had a torn plantar fascia. I guess I can infer that the answer is no, because as I've been told, the prognosis for that is severe rest for weeks and not at 100% until at least 12 weeks.

If the answer is yes, then the question is valid... is 2 weeks way to aggressive a schedule for that type of injury?

These aren't leading or rhetorical questions, I'm actually asking them.

According to the report, nothing has changed. He has a partial tear. I think they're going to take it week to week, and more than likely he's not seeing the field for at least a month, barring an injury to Brock.

At least a month sounds way more reasonable. It's just not what they said. Whatever, I'm probably reading too much into it, but I suspect your right. "At least 2 weeks" is probably closer to "At least 4-5 weeks".

If Brock gets injured, I would way rather them trot out Simean or Ponder/whoever they bring in over a still-injured Manning.

Yep. Exactly. And since they are working out Ponder (and whoever else if they don't like him), that definitely looks like the writing on the wall.

Peyton Manning walked a well worn path to Dr. Robert Anderson's office in Charlotte, N.C., on Monday, and walked out requiring a minimum of two weeks rest. The earliest Manning will return is Dec. 6 at San Diego.

The Broncos will work out free agent quarterback Christian Ponder Wednesday, eyeing depth as they brace for a potential extended absence by Manning.

Anderson recommended Manning spend this week in a walking cast — a treatment for the torn plantar fascia in his left heel — followed by additional rehab strengthening of his leg. By going with a cast, Manning has elected a non-surgical procedure. Manning will attend meetings and perform light workouts with the team, according to coach Gary Kubiak.

Apparently we put in a waiver claim on Jimmy Clausen but the Ravens got him. Now working out Ponder. If Brock isn't our future, get used to seeing guys like these in a Bronco uniform - scary, isn't it?
