Overview
- Nix took part in full-team drills on Saturday with no listed limitations, marking his first full-team work since fracturing his right ankle in the Jan. 17 divisional playoff game.
- The quarterback, who had surgery on Jan. 20 and a follow-up procedure in April to remove bone spurs, told reporters he will continue to scramble and be “as athletic as I can be.”
- Coach Sean Payton said Nix's recovery is on schedule and called the quarterback’s ability to extend plays “one of his superpowers.”
- Denver is using camp to build chemistry between Nix and offseason addition Jaylen Waddle while first-year play-caller Davis Webb handles in-game play calls.
- Nix remains under team control through at least 2027, so his health and 2026 performance — including the Sept. 14 season opener at Kansas City — will shape Denver’s near-term roster and contract decisions.
