Why was Broncos QB Peyton Manning wearing a helmet while checking an iPad in the cold tub?

Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning is clearly addicted to the gridiron. Over the weekend, a photo of Manning went viral that featured the QB with one foot submerged in the cold tub, wearing a helmet and on an iPad. Now the story behind the photo has come out.

Earlier this season, Manning and tight end Julius Thomas found themselves in the training room instead of practice on a Wednesday.

Not wanting to miss out on mental reps, Manning took matters into his own hands.

With his injured ankle in the cold tub, the quarterback kept his helmet on to listen to the play calls from Offensive Coordinator Adam Gase, who was on the practice field. Simultaneously, he watched game tape on his iPad.

“He heard the calls, he’d repeat them to Julius and they were kind of – it was a way for them to take two hours and stay in the game plan,” explained Gase, who laughed that he couldn’t believe the photo made it onto CBS’ broadcast last week.
