Osweiler's Health Vital If Manning Struggles with Injury

Osweiler relieved an injured Manning in the regular season and helped position the Broncos for the No. 1 AFC playoff seed before being replaced in the second half of a Week 17 matchup with the San Diego Chargers, leading to Manning taking the reins for the postseason.

After limited action and no starts in his first three NFL seasons, Osweiler acquitted himself quite well in eight contests this year, registering an 86.4 passer rating with 10 touchdown passes and six interceptions. He even played through a separated non-throwing shoulder.

Given Manning is still not 100 percent, per Kubiak, Osweiler's presence is crucial in the event that the legendary signal-caller aggravates his injury.
