Nix Ahead of Schedule Post-Surgery
31 Mar
Summary
- Broncos QB Bo Nix is recovering faster than expected from ankle surgery.
- Nix is anticipated to be ready for offseason team activities.
- Jaylen Waddle was acquired by the Broncos to aid Nix's offense.
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix is progressing exceptionally well in his rehabilitation from ankle surgery, which prematurely ended his recent season. Team owner Greg Penner confirmed on Monday that Nix is ahead of his expected recovery timeline.
Penner indicated that Nix has approached his recovery with the same intensity he applies to game preparation, leading to swift progress. Consequently, Nix is expected to fully participate in the Broncos' upcoming organized team activities (OTAs) without limitation. This positive outlook comes after Nix sustained a fractured right ankle during the team's divisional round playoff win against the Buffalo Bills.
Nix's injury forced him to miss the AFC Championship Game, marking the first game of his career he had been unable to play. He had previously estimated a 4-6 week recovery period for the "simple fracture." In a significant move to bolster the offense, the Broncos also recently acquired wide receiver Jaylen Waddle via trade from the Miami Dolphins, providing Nix with an additional key target for his third professional season.
