Jeff Saturday has no plans on ending his retirement amid the season-ending injury to Denver Broncos' center Dan Hoppen.
The Broncos already had lost J.D. Walton to injury, leaving Manny Ramirez as the current placeholder at center.
Saturday and Peyton Manning played together between 1999 and 2011 with the Indianapolis Colts.
Dan Koppen was carted off the field during Sunday's practice with a torn ACL.
Koppen's season would almost assuredly be over and it could be career-ending.
Koppen was signed last month after J.D. Walton was ruled out for the season.

Von Miller will be suspended for the first four games of the 2013 season due to a violation of the league's drug policy.
Miller was the 2012 Defensive Rookie of the Year and is widely considered the best player on the Denver Broncos' defense.
Miller had 18.5 sacks last season.
Benjamin Allbright of NFLDraftMonsters.com reports that marijuana use is to blame.
"Von Miller is a phenomenal person, but he has a problem with marijuana use," wrote Allbright.
The Denver Broncos suspended director of player personnel Matt Russell indefinitely without pay and director of pro personnel Tom Heckert for one month without pay for their recent drunken-driving arrests.
The Broncos also said that Russell and Heckert will be provided "treatment resources as needed in the form of education, counseling and other rehabilitation programs."
The Broncos locked up left tackle Ryan Clady on Sunday, signing QB Peyton Manning's blindside protector to a five-year deal worth a base salary of $52.5M, according to an ESPN.com report.
The contract includes at least $33M guaranteed.
Broncos top executives will meet Monday at the team's Dove Valley facility to discuss discipline for the recent driving under the influence arrests of personnel chiefs Matt Russell and Tom Heckert, according to a club source.
The Denver Broncos and Ryan Clady have picked up talks on a contract extension, but the two sides are not yet close on a deal, according to a report from the National Football Post.
Clady played the final season of his rookie contract in 2012.
Clady is seeking a deal similar to the seven years, $80.5 million signed by Joe Thomas last August.
