Overview
- Bo Nix fractured his right ankle in the Divisional Round, had surgery, and Broncos owner Greg Penner said the procedure went well.
- Nix told reporters there was “nothing predisposed” in his ankle and said he aims to resume training in four to six weeks.
- Sean Payton said the surgeon found a “predisposed” condition and outlined a progression from scooter to crutches to a walking boot.
- General manager George Paton said the team is hopeful Nix will be back on the field by May, and recent reporting indicates clearance by OTAs is expected.
- Coverage from the Denver Post and Pro Football Rumors suggests the “predisposition” referred to a fracture already developing rather than a chronic issue, though the public discrepancy remains.
