Broncos' Peyton Manning, DeMarcus Ware not making trip to Chicago

Injured quarterback Peyton Manning isn't making the trip to Chicago for Sunday's game between the Denver Broncos and the Bears.

Manning is suffering from a torn plantar fascia in his left foot and Brock Osweiler will start in his place. There isn't yet a timetable for Manning's return and the team wants him focused on his rehabilitation efforts.

Outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware also isn't making the trip to Chicago as he deals with a back injury. It will be the third game Ware has missed this season.

"It's tough. We both want to play," Ware told reporters. "I have talked to (Manning), and told him that the team is going to need us, but not at 80 percent. We need to take care of our health to be able to help the team. You want to be able to play at a certain level."

Receiver Emmanuel Sanders is listed as questionable for the game due to ankle and finger injuries. He nearly missed last Sunday's game against Kansas City because of the ankle injury but suited up and departed after suffering a concussion.
