The Denver Broncos have announced that Peyton Manning will miss at least the next two games, and it’s fair to wonder if we will see the 39-year-old quarterback again this season.
“The official release was that Manning would be out at least two weeks -- my understanding is it’s at least three weeks (from playing),” Rapoport said. “Here’s why: He’s going to be in a cast for up to 10 days, then he’s got another week of rehab, and then he’s got to try to get on the field. So the date to circle on your calendar is Dec. 20 against the Steelers. That’s the most realistic date that Manning could be back, but no one has guaranteed to me that he’ll definitely be back on the field, especially if Brock Osweiler is playing well.”
