NFL Notes: Week 15, Broncos, Colts, Raiders, & Vikings

Week 15

• The NFL announced Monday that the Cardinals vs. Eagles in Week 15 has been flexed to primetime, taking place of the Bengals vs. 49ers game.

Broncos

• John Elway told Alex Flanagan the Broncos haven’t made a decision about who will start at quarterback when Peyton Manning is healthy.
• Elway added that he expects Manning to tell them when he feels ready.

Colts

Jason Cole of Bleacher Report says owner Jim Irsay wants to keep HC Chuck Pagano and GM Ryan Gregson to keep their posts the rest of the season and in the future, but Sunday’s 45-10 loss to the Steelers could change that:

“This loss, because it’s such a repeat and a mirror image of last season, is likely to spark change,” Cole reports, citing sources in Indianapolis.

• Matt Hasselbeck is expected to start at quarterback for the Colts next week, while Andrew Luck remains “week to week.” (Mike Chappell)

Raiders

Vikings

• Ben Goessling reports S Antone Exum suffered a fractured rib and injured AC joint in Sunday’s loss to the Seahawks, which will cause him to miss “2-3 weeks.”
