ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — As far as Peyton Manning is concerned, wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders isn’t the only offensive reinforcement summoned to help Denver get another crack at winning the Super Bowl.

Manning suggested Ryan Clady is almost like a free agent acquisition since he hardly played last year.

The star left tackle suffered a season-ending left foot injury in the second week of the season, not long after signing a five-year, $52.5 million contract.

Now he’s on the comeback trail. Although he has no timeline for getting back on the field, Clady said he’s eager to return to form and make up for all that time he missed last year.
