ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Peyton Manning's progress will bear close monitoring later this week, but his effort to recover from a torn plantar fascia is just the beginning of the Broncos' injury issues, which only deepened with the hamstring injuries suffered by OLB Lerentee McCray, WR Cody Latimer and safety Darian Stewart on Sunday.
Stewart's injury heaped more pain on a unit that can scarcely afford what it has endured, with T.J. Ward (ankle), David Bruton Jr. (knee) and Omar Bolden (hamstring) all out Sunday.
