Brock Osweiler not named starter for the rest of the season
The Denver Broncos aren’t ready to name Brock Osweiler their starter for the remainder of the season just yet.
“No decision has been made on our QB situation beyond this week, contrary to speculation,” the team tweeted Wednesday following a report based on anonymous sources that Manning wouldn’t return to the starting lineup even when healthy.
Manning remains in a walking cast and faces more rehab on his left foot. He has a partially torn plantar fascia that led to the switch to Osweiler three weeks ago.
The Broncos (9-2) have beaten Chicago and New England in Osweiler’s two starts.
The athletic quarterback’s ability to run bootlegs and play action has opened up Gary Kubiak’s zone-based offense, which had been modified for Manning.
