Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has declared himself fully recovered from a fractured right ankle, an injury that required surgery in January 2026. He confirmed that this past setback will not force him to change his dynamic style of play, which heavily incorporates his running ability.
Nix underwent a follow-up surgery in April 2026 to remove bone spurs. He reported feeling completely normal and physically ready for the 2026 NFL season, stating he is ahead of his progress from the previous year. His confidence is high, and he believes his performance is showing on the field.
In his first two NFL seasons, Nix accumulated 786 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. His ability to evade sacks and extend plays has been praised by Head Coach Sean Payton as a "superpower." Despite attempting 612 passes last season, Nix was sacked only 22 times, a testament to his evasiveness and the effectiveness of his play style.
