Broncos QB Peyton Manning 'Tentative' In Preseason Debut | | Considering he missed all of last season with nerve damage in his neck that required several surgeries, Broncos QB Peyton Manning didn�t look bad in his first game back. The problem was he didn�t exactly look like his old self, either. With very little pressure from the Bears� defense, Manning went 4-for-7 for 44 yards on the opening drive that ended when his throw went slightly behind receiver Brandon Stokley, was tipped in the air and picked off by a diving Major Wright. Manning�s best play on the drive came on 3-and-17 when he stepped up in the pocket and hit Eric Decker on a deep crossing route for 19 yards and the first down. Manning looked tentative on a couple of reads but considering his last throw in a real game came at the end of the 2010 season, the Broncos had to be happy with their big investment.
