ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — These are the days Brock Osweiler lives for.
When you're a fourth-year quarterback who has yet to start an NFL game; when you're entering the final year of your rookie contract still waiting for your shot; and when you're Peyton Manning's understudy, you embrace chances like No. 17 did at practice Monday.
With Manning among the several starters getting a breather, Osweiler made the most of his opportunity, getting the bulk of the snaps at practice as he continued to digest coach Gary Kubiak's run-oriented offense that is both newfangled and old-fashioned.
"It's huge," Osweiler said.
