Bo Nix Returns to Full-Team Work and Vows to Keep Using His Mobility

The step forward affects Denver's roster planning and contract timing ahead of the Sept. 14 season opener in Kansas City.

Overview

  • Bo Nix participated in full-team 11-on-11 drills on Saturday, marking his first full-team work since fracturing his right ankle in the Jan. 17 divisional round.
  • He underwent surgery on Jan. 20 in Birmingham and a follow-up procedure in April to remove bone spurs, and coaches say his rehabilitation is on schedule.
  • Nix said his repaired ankle will not change his style and that he will continue to scramble and extend plays, a trait Sean Payton calls one of the quarterback’s ‘superpowers.’
  • The Broncos are building chemistry between Nix and offseason addition Jaylen Waddle while offensive coordinator Davis Webb handles play-calling with Payton still involved in game planning.
  • Nix remains under team control through 2027 under his rookie-scale deal, a status that makes an extension decision next year central to Denver’s roster and salary planning.
