The nightmare season for Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is getting worse.
Manning has a torn plantar fascia in his right foot, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. According to Schefter, Manning had already been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, but the condition has now worsened.

ain’t going to be able to play with that...
At least the season is over for Manning.
I’ve been expecting his retirement announcement since 2011 when he had the neck surgeries. He has too many ailments and is almost 40. I think he only played so he could set the all-time passing yards record.
Um, he made it to a SUPER BOWL since then. Don't be silly.
I wish him the best.
Maybe his season. At his age, perhaps his career.
A plantar tear usually does not need surgery to correct and will recover with rest. Having had the condition in both my feet in the past, I know how painful it is.
AND how absolutely long it takes to heal....with rest.
The Indianapolis Colts, already reeling with injury and performing below expectations, received even more terrible injury news on Tuesday: quarterback Andrew Luck suffered abdominal injury in the team's victory over Denver. Luck is expected to miss two to six weeks.
Colts head coach Chuck Pagano announced the injury on Tuesday afternoon, saying Luck suffered a lacerated kidney and a partially torn abdominal muscle on a fourth-quarter scramble. This is in addition to the report from earlier this season that Luck had been playing with multiple fractured ribs.
Just last week, I dropped his brother (who I called “Erratic Eli”) in my fantasy football league to acquire him. Smart move, eh?
The timing would seem to all fit together ....
He continues to play so he can prove he is a better quarterback than Favre.
That simple.
Meant to ping you fellers on this.
That puppy can take a long time to heal. I just pulled mine and it took a year to heal. It’s just too easy to aggravate it over and over.
Love manning. keeps his mouth shut about stuff and keeps quiet compared to a certain idiot QB from Green Bay who couldn’t keep his piehole shut about the fan during the moment of silence. However, I hate the Broncos organization led by a full lefty in Elway.
Brady is still the greatest of all time.
For some reason, I saw this headline as Chelea Manning, and thought this was a required procedure for “trans-ing.”
I wonder how they were treating that? I had it in both feet in the early 90's. What cured it was firm arch supports for my shoes (Dr. Scholl's won't cut it). Eventually, the pain went away, the heel spurs re-knitted, and I have no pain at all. I still have the two pairs of arch supports and will not buy shoes unless those arch supports fit.
I guess the Broncos should have sat Manning until he healed. I think Joe DiMaggio went through it at some point as well and took a lot of time off.
Where is Teabow these days?
