Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning (neck) said he’s still not all the way back to 100 percent after his 2011 neck surgery. ‘I’m not 100 percent compared to what I was before my surgery, but I have made strides each season and this year felt a lot better than the year before,’ Manning said. ‘But these nerves just go at their own pace. It’s not like it’s going to have this immediate recovery one day.’ Manning said it took time and repetition to get back to where he could control his passes. ‘It was weak and I lost awareness of my arm in space, a proprioception issue,’ Manning said. ‘So I just used to sit in front of a mirror and go through my throwing motions, trying to get the feel back the way I’d always thrown before. I was trying to throw to some receivers, so I would throw to you and the ball would go (points finger) there. That was very scary.’
