Englewood, CO (SportsNetwork.com) – Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is OK to play Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, interim head coach Jack Del Rio reiterated Friday.<\/p>\n
Manning missed practice Wednesday because of a high right ankle sprain that was aggravated in last week’s win at San Diego but returned on a limited basis Thursday and was a full-go on Friday.<\/p>\n
He was listed as probable on the Broncos’ injury report.<\/p>\n
“They don’t have a ‘definite’ category on there, or I would check it off,” Del Rio said.<\/p>\n
Manning had an MRI Monday that showed he aggravated the ankle sprain. He took several rough hits against the Chargers and came up limping after throwing a fourth-quarter completion that helped seal the win.<\/p>\n
The Broncos (8-1) trail the undefeated Chiefs by a game in the AFC West.<\/p>\n
Denver cornerback Champ Bailey is doubtful to play because of a nagging foot injury that has kept him out of all but two games. He has missed two straight games and was limited in practice all week.<\/p>\n
Linebacker Nate Irving (shoulder) is questionable to play after missing practice Wednesday and being limited on Thursday and Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
