While retired quarterback Peyton Manning will rejoin the team for the celebration, few are sitting out on the trip.

Cornerback Aqib Talib suffered minor injuries after being shot in the lower right leg at a nightclub in Dallas early Sunday morning. Quarterback Brock Osweiler also will not be in attendance due to commitments with the Houston Texans, who he signed a four-year $72 million deal with earlier this year. Even Cody Latimer will join the team at the White House after being arrested May 30 for an unpaid traffic ticket following a 911 call regarding a domestic dispute with his girlfriend.
