ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Peyton Manning will make his preseason debut Saturday night at Houston.
Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said Tuesday that Manning “will play quite a bit. Is that a quarter and a-half? Is that a half? Is that a quarter? I don’t know.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Peyton Manning and Demaryius Thomas are on the field together for the first time in 201 days as the Denver Broncos kick off training camp.
Thomas skipped the Broncos’ offseason program in a contract stalemate before signing a five-year, $70 million deal earlier this month.
When Manning reported to camp he told the Broncos’ website he’s happy for Thomas, saying “he deserves his new contract. He’s earned every cent of it and I know he will continue to earn it over the course of his career.”
Thomas said his goal is to break the NFL’s single-season receiving record of 1,964 yards even though the Broncos are switching to Gary Kubiak’s two-tight end, run-heavy offense.
Kubiak said he loves that bravado.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos want to see if former No. 1 draft pick Jake Long is healthy enough to bolster their offensive line to protect 39-year-old Peyton Manning.
Long is scheduled to visit the Broncos on Thursday. He’s also visited with the Giants and Falcons this week.
The first overall pick by Miami in 2008 and a four-time Pro Bowler, Long missed nine games last season in St. Louis with a second torn ACL in two years. The Rams released him this spring.
The Broncos lost star left tackle Ryan Clady to a season-ending knee injury in May, leaving second-round draft pick Ty Sambrailo as Manning’s presumed blindside protector.
