Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix ready to resume running after ankle surgeries

Quarterback Bo Nix recovered from a fractured right ankle suffered during the Broncos' 33‑30 overtime win over the Buffalo Bills on Jan. 17. The injury forced him to miss the AFC Championship loss to the New England Patriots. He underwent initial surgery on Jan. 20 in Birmingham, Alabama, followed by a follow‑up procedure in April to remove bone spurs. Nix said he feels “great” and “normal,” confirming that the surgeries will not change his playing style. He emphasized his intent to keep “rolling” and using his mobility as a strength for the team.

Coach Sean Payton praised Nix’s ability to extend plays and noted his “super‑power” of evading pressure. Nix also addressed his contract situation, noting he is under contract through the 2027 season with a fifth‑year option and possible franchise tags, but affirmed his commitment to Denver and his teammates. The quarterback entered training camp fully participating after the surgeries, showing no lingering impact on his movement.

Overall, Nix’s recovery and contract outlook suggest he will remain the Broncos’ starting quarterback for the upcoming season.
