(Reuters) - Peyton Manning was expected to be backup quarterback for the Denver Broncos in their regular season finale against the San Diego Chargers on Sunday after being listed as probable on Friday's injury report.
The 39-year-old has been sidelined since Nov. 15 because of a torn plantar fascia in his left foot but looked close to full fitness after taking part in practice this week.
Manning took reps with the second-string offense on Friday and helped run the scout team while starting quarterback Brock Osweiler ran the first team.
"He was good, he practiced well," Broncos coach Gary Kubiak told reporters about Manning.
