How Peyton Manning's foot injury will be treated, and how it could be a cyclical problem

Broncos coach Gary Kubiak expresses concern for keeping QB Peyton Manning comfortable with a torn plantar fascia in his left foot, which will keep him out of Sunday's game against the Bears.

After reportedly battling plantar fasciitis in his left foot for several weeks, Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning now has a tear in the plantar fascia of his left foot. It’s not uncommon for a chronic irritation of the tissue to progress to a tear; the question now becomes just how well Manning can function with the injury.

The plantar fascia is the fibrous tissue along the undersurface of the foot which runs from the heel to the ball of the foot and reinforces the arch.
