Peyton Manning walked a well worn path to Dr. Robert Anderson's office in Charlotte, N.C., on Monday, and walked out needing more time to recover. Manning will be sidelined for at least two weeks, leaving his earliest possible return Dec. 6 at San Diego.
Anderson recommended Manning spend this week in a walking cast — a treatment for the torn plantar fascia in his left heel — followed by additional rehab. Manning will attend meetings and perform light workouts with the team, according to coach Gary Kubiak.
"Peyton and I had a good visit today and we've got a good plan for recovery," coach Gary Kubiak said.
