Overview
- The Broncos have cleared Nix for unrestricted team work and he said he feels “great” and “normal” after returning to full drills during training camp over the weekend.
- Nix underwent initial surgery on his fractured right ankle on Jan. 20 and had a follow-up arthroscopic procedure in April to remove bone spurs before completing rehab.
- He insisted he will continue to use his mobility and scramble when needed, saying on Saturday he will “be as athletic as I can be” while also being smart about taking hits.
- Coaches report his recovery is on schedule and are building his workload toward game readiness as Denver works chemistry with new wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and adapts to Davis Webb calling plays.
- Nix remains under team control through the 2027 season via his rookie contract options, so his health and 2026 performance will factor into the Broncos’ longer-term contract planning.
