Bo Nix Feels 'Normal' Again, and the Broncos Are Letting Him Play Free After Two Ankle Surgeries
Nix is back with the starters after two ankle surgeries and said he feels normal as Denver adjusts to a new play-caller.
- On Saturday, August 1, 2026, Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix returned to full training camp participation in Centennial, Colo., after recovering from two offseason right ankle surgeries.
- Nix, the third-year quarterback, fractured his right ankle during the AFC Divisional round win over the Buffalo Bills six months ago, requiring two surgical procedures to repair the fracture and remove bone spurs.
- Coach Sean Payton called Nix's scrambling ability "one of his superpowers," and Nix stated he will not curtail his mobility despite the injury, as the Broncos recorded a league-low 3.75% sack rate last season.
- Building chemistry with offseason acquisition Jaylen Waddle, Nix is working with new offensive coordinator Davis Webb, whom he praised as "very calm, decisive giving me the play."
- Entering a contract year on his $18.6 million rookie deal, Nix emphasized he owes his teammates 100% effort, stating "every year for every player should feel like a contract year" as Denver's season begins September 14 against Kansas City.
