Peyton Manning says he still has work to do

On the list of things Denver coach John Fox is worried about, Twitter pictures of playbooks are low on the list.
Maybe the notably conservative coach is relaxed because his quarterback continues to make good progress.
Peyton Manning told USA Today’s Jim Corbett he feels good after a Monday check-up with Broncos doctors, but stressed he was not yet 100 percent.
“I still have a lot of work to do,” Manning said. “I continue to rehab. I have work to do and progress that I still need to make.”
Corbett’s report said Manning showed good velocity, completing a 30-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas during practice. But Manning pumped the brakes, probably hesitant to get anyone’s hopes too high after a year off.
“I can’t emphasize enough that I still have rehab to do,” Manning said. “That’s still part of the process.”
The Broncos are doing everything they can to make Manning comfortable, even inviting his old offensive coordinator Tom Moore to practice (Moore and Fox worked together in Pittsburgh in 1989).
And if Manning can continue to make progress, Fox might be so happy he’ll start Tweeting himself.
