Everyone expects Peyton Manning to start on Monday night in Cincinnati, but officially that’s no sure thing.
The Broncos listed Manning as questionable on the official injury report for Monday’s game against the Bengals. Manning has been getting treatment for a thigh injury and has also battled an illness.
If Manning can’t go, Brock Osweiler would get the nod. Osweiler played briefly -- and played poorly -- when Manning went to the locker room during Sunday’s win over the Chargers.
Obviously, it would be very, very bad news for the Broncos if there really is a risk that Manning can’t play. But from all indications, there really isn’t any question. Manning may be listed as questionable, but he will play.
