Call it doctor's orders.
Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning will wear a walking cast on his injured left foot for the next week and will miss, at minimum, the next two games after getting a second opinion on a partially torn plantar fascia.
Manning, who missed the Broncos' 17-15 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday, was in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Monday to consult with Dr. Robert Anderson, a noted orthopedic surgeon who specializes in foot and ankle injuries.
Manning returned to Denver on Tuesday and met with Broncos coach Gary Kubiak, as well as the team's medical staff.
Anderson's recommendation, according to the Broncos, is for Manning to wear a cast for the next week and, after the cast is removed, begin the next round of treatment on the injury.
