Brock Osweiler to remain the starter; Peyton Manning will focus on rehab

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Brock Osweiler will remain the Broncos' starting quarterback, Head Coach Gary Kubiak notified the team at its Wednesday morning meeting.

As the Broncos prepare for Monday night's game against the Bengals, Peyton Manning will focus on his rehabilitation from a torn plantar fascia. He is not expected to practice Wednesday or be active this week as he works back toward full health.

The decision came after conversations Head Coach Gary Kubiak had with Manning earlier this week.

Osweiler's first five starts have been brilliant at times and a learning process at others -- in other words, typical for a quarterback making his first NFL regular-season starts.
