| Broncos Likely To Get QB Peyton Manning 10-12 Plays In Preseason Vs. Bears | | |
For their final full practice prior to their first preseason game of the 2012 season, the third- and fourth-stringers got almost as many reps Tuesday as Peyton Manning and the first-teamers. The Broncos will play Thursday night against Jay Cutler, Brandon Marshall and the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. "They're going to play in crunch time and that's the fourth quarter," Broncos coach John Fox said of his players who are currently at the back-end of the depth chart. "You want to give them every chance to have success, so that's what's always fun about the first preseason game." Based on past preseasons, Manning can expect to quarterback the Broncos' starters for 10 to 12 plays over one or two series. Caleb Hanie will finish out the first quarter and play most of the second quarter with the No. 2 offense. Rookie quarter Brock Osweiler will play most of the third quarter and Adam Weber should take most of the fourth.
