Denver Broncos head coach John Fox has revealed that he plans to rest quarterback Peyton Manning during his side's bye week.

Manning is on pace for a record season after throwing 29 touchdowns in his side's first eight games but has been struggling in recent weeks with sprained ankles.

"He's not going to get a whole lot of reps the next two days, I'll tell you that," Fox told reporters.

The Broncos are 7-1 in their season after week eight.
