Peyton Manning will miss at least the next two weeks with an injured foot. The team made the news official on their website Tuesday night.

The 39-year-old met with a foot and ankle specialist on Monday with the doctor recommending he wear a walking cast for a week followed by rehab.

Manning tore his plantar fascia in his right foot during a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 15. Backup quarterback Brock Osweiler started in Manning's place this past weekend and picked up a victory against the Chicago Bears. He is slated to get the nod again next week against the undefeated New England Patriots.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Broncos will work out free-agent quarterback Christian Ponder on Wednesday. 

Manning has thrown for 2,180 yards with nine touchdowns and 17 interceptions over nine games this season.
