Another day, another injury for 39-year-old Peyton Manning.

The Denver Broncos updated their injury report Saturday to add Manning’s latest ailment, a sore rib cage.

He’s also dealing with a sore right foot but is still expected to play against Kansas City on Sunday. He’s listed as probable.

Last week, it was a sore right shoulder that bothered Manning.

The Chiefs (3-5) have lost seven straight times to the Broncos (7-1) since Manning’s arrival in Denver.
