DENVER BRONCOS QUOTES (11/20/15)
HEAD COACH GARY KUBIAK
On game statuses
“Out: [OLB] DeMarcus [Ware] is out and [QB] Peyton [Manning] is out. Questionable: [DE] Vance Walker and [WR] Emmanuel
Sanders. Probable: [TE] Owen Daniels, [C] Matt Paradis—everybody else is probable. [DE] Antonio [Smith] will be listed as
questionable, too.”
On if Smith or Walker practiced
“No. They took some of the walk through stuff, but no. They'll both be game-time decisions. I think they both have a chance, but
we'll work them out on Sunday morning and see.”
On if Sanders is a game-time decision
“Emmanuel did a little bit today. It's a cold, windy day. He came out and got going. We did some other periods, defensive
periods, and he stiffened up a little bit, so we took him out the rest of practice. I think he has a chance. We'll see where he is
tomorrow and see how he does before the game.”
On the status of Paradis
“He's fine. He's okay. He'll be ready to go.”
On how involved Manning was in meetings this week
“It was strictly rehab. He's strictly—he and DeMarcus—we have a total commitment to get getting them healthy and spending
time with [Head Athletic Trainer Steve] Greek [Antonopulos]. He [Manning] actually came out to practice today with me for a
while, stood back there with me and we talked a little bit. That's been our focus and it's going to continue to be our focus this
weekend. We're going to keep Peyton and DeMarcus back here with a trainer, stay focused on their rehab and have a good
weekend with them getting healthy. We have to go there and get ready to play.”
On if the plan was to have Manning attend the game
“The plan was in place all week [to have Manning and Ware stay]. I talked to Greek. Greek and I talked last night about it, but this
had been the thought process all week. Away from ball, away from meetings and just focused on getting healthy. It's been that
way with both of them, so it hasn't changed.”
On how he feels about QB Brock Osweiler after a full week of practice
“I feel good. He's worked really hard. He's practiced well. Today, he got in a tough environment in practice with some wind and
the weather a little bit. He's ready to go. He's worked really hard. I'm very proud of his preparation. His team needs to play well
for him. That's what it's all about. I think that everybody is excited for him and his continuous preparation for an opportunity.”

On if it was good preparation practicing in the elements
“Yeah, it was really good. We got some snow, we got some wind. We had to handle some tough balls special teams-wise. We
were inside two days this week, so it was good to get out, yeah.”
