Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning will receive an MRI on Monday after taking several hits in the Broncos' win against the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.
According to ESPN, Manning took a hit from defensive end Cory Liuget within the final two minutes of the game, causing trainers to be concerned over his right ankle and knee. The quarterback finished out the game, but will have his leg looked at Monday.
"I'm pretty sore," Manning said after the game. "They got me twice in that lower area. I felt better coming into the game after the bye week, but I'm pretty sore."
Manning had an MRI done a few weeks ago, and is hoping for positive results once again.
The Associated Press reports that Liuget's hit was unintentional, and he talked about it after the game. "I was trying to get to him because I knew how critical it could be to us as a defense to get to him," he said. "I was just working it and trying to be the guy. I'm not sure how I caught him but I hope he is OK. It's not anything that is going to stop him from being Peyton Manning."
The Broncos are up against the Kansas City Chiefs next Sunday night in Denver. When asked about whether he'll play in the match up, Manning replied, “I definitely plan on it.”
