ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Peyton Manning is set to return to practice Wednesday for the first time in a month, but he’ll be a sideline spectator again Sunday when Brock Osweiler makes his fifth consecutive start Sunday at Pittsburgh.

The Denver Broncos said coach Gary Kubiak met with his QBs on Tuesday and laid out his plan for the week.

Manning had a trio of throwing sessions indoors and away from his teammates last week after he had his hard cast and then a walking boot removed from his left foot the previous week.

The Broncos are 3-1 in Osweiler’s starts and 7-2 when Manning starts, although Denver has struggled to find the end zone no matter who’s taking the snaps.

The Broncos have gone seven quarters without an offensive touchdown. They settled for four field goals Sunday in losing 15-12.
