Manning (thigh) will play Monday against the Bengals, the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Manning is officially listed as questionable for the game, but head coach John Fox indicated Saturday that he fully expects his starting quarterback to play. After blistering play for much of the season, Manning has failed to reach even 235 passing yards in his last three games, while throwing only one touchdown in his last two. With the Broncos still needing at least one win to clinch a first-round playoff bye, Manning will be on the field and unlikely to be limited against the Bengals.
