Jack Del Rio: Peyton Manning is a "definite" for Kansas City Chiefs game

Denver Broncos interim head coach Jack Del Rio has revealed that quarterback Peyton Manning will definitely play against the Kansas City Chiefs this week.

The 37-year-old took a late hit in his side's win over the San Diego Chargers and missed his side's practice session on Wednesday due to ankle problems, but he has shaken off the injury to play in the crucial AFC West clash.

"They don't have a definite category on there, or I would check it off. He's ready to go, and as a team we're ready to go," Del Rio told ESPN.

The Broncos are 8-1 going into their week 11 game with the 9-0 Chiefs.
