Manning is absolutely determined to get himself healthy, according to a source with knowledge of the situation, doing all he can to overcome a variety of injuries, including a partially torn plantar fascia and a rib injury that, while not involving any broken bones, remains very painful. Manning firmly believes hell play again this year.
But Mannings goal isnt to simply become healthy enough so that he can play. He hopes to be healthy enough that hell play better than he did during the Week 10 debacle against the Chiefs, a 0.0-rating outcome that featured only five completions and four interceptions.
And as Manning focuses on getting healthy on this year, hes still not considering it his last NFL season. He currently intends, according to the source, to play in 2016 even if he wont be playing for the Broncos.
