Bo Nix's Ankle: Fracture Was 'a Matter of When'
28 Jan
Summary
- Bo Nix's ankle fracture was inevitable due to a preexisting condition.
- Dr. Norman E. Waldrop III performed surgery in Birmingham, Alabama.
- Nix is expected to return in May for organized team activities.
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix had a preexisting ankle condition that made his recent fracture "a matter of when," head coach Sean Payton stated on Tuesday. Nix broke a bone in his right ankle during a game-winning drive in a playoff victory. He underwent surgery in Birmingham, Alabama, performed by Dr. Norman E. Waldrop III.
Payton reassured concerns about Nix's long-term health, noting that the quarterback has a history of ankle operations. General manager George Paton anticipates Nix will be ready to return in May when organized team activities commence. Nix, who led the Broncos to a franchise-record 14 wins in the regular season, is currently using a medical scooter as part of his recovery.
