Bo Nix’s Ankle Recovery Hits a Familiar 'Second Step' in the Broncos’ Offseason Plan
Payton said the Broncos will ease Nix back after a second ankle operation, with the quarterback expected to be full speed by training camp.
- On Saturday, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said there is a "good chance" quarterback Nix will participate in the mandatory minicamp scheduled for June 16-18. Payton expressed optimism about Nix's recovery trajectory.
- Nix underwent a follow-up procedure last month on his right ankle, three months after initially fracturing it during the AFC Divisional Round win over Buffalo. Payton noted the second operation was not a surprise.
- Coaches and training staff will be "smart" with their third-year quarterback, prioritizing his health over early participation. Payton stated he and Nix have "been on the same page" regarding recovery.
- Until Nix returns, backup Jarrett Stidham and Sam Ehlinger will split snaps at quarterback during the offseason program. Both players manage responsibilities while the starter continues limited rehabilitation.
- General manager George Paton signed a five-year contract extension earlier this week, keeping him in Denver through 2030. The team expects Nix to be fully healthy for training camp in late July.
