ENGLEWOOD – Brock Osweiler remains the Denver Broncos’ starting quarterback pending medical tests on his injured left shoulder, and Peyton Manning will try to return to practice Wednesday.
Coach Gary Kubiak said “nothing has changed” with his QB situation Monday, a day after Denver blew a double-digit halftime lead for the second consecutive week.
Kubiak said Osweiler was “sore today ... and all indications are that he’ll be OK.”
Osweiler was injured when he scrambled for 7 yards in the second quarter of Denver’s 34-27 loss at Pittsburgh.
Bruton played injured
Safety David Bruton Jr. played most of Denver’s game at Pittsburgh with a fractured right fibula that will sideline him indefinitely.
Bruton was injured when he collided with cornerback Aqib Talib with 1:58 left in the first quarter on an incomplete pass to Martavis Bryant.
Bruton stayed in the game and wound up playing a team-high 77 snaps on defense and another 18 on special teams.
The Broncos already were playing without safeties T.J. Ward (ankle), Darian Stewart (hamstring) and Omar Bolden (hamstring).
