Manning out for at least the next two weeks

The Denver Broncos said Tuesday evening that Denver Broncos Quarterback Peyton Manning will miss at least the next two weeks.

Manning is recovering from a plantar fascia tear.

According to the team’s official website, Manning had a consultation on Monday with noted foot and ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, N.C.

Anderson recommended that Manning spend at least the next week in a walking cast. After the cast is removed, he will begin additional rehabilitation on his injured foot.

“Peyton and I had a good visit today, and we’ve got a plan in place for his recovery,” Head Coach Gary Kubiak said. “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.

“We expect him to be unavailable for at least a couple of games. We’ll proceed from there and will continueto support him as he does everything he can to get healthy.”
