Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning has torn plantar fascia in his right foot, league sources told ESPN on Monday morning.
Some Broncos players told ESPN that Manning, who was pulled from Sunday's 29-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the third quarter, had difficulty walking last week.
Sources told ESPN that Manning has battled plantar fasciitis for weeks but is believed to have aggravated the injury against Indianapolis on Nov. 8. The injury resulted in a partial tear of his plantar fascia. Almost always, a partial tear is more painful to play with than a complete tear.
