Overview
- The Broncos had a mandatory minicamp in mid-June where Bo Nix took part in a limited on-field role and said he “could go full go” if asked.
- Nix first had surgery after fracturing his right ankle on Jan. 18 and underwent a successful follow-up clean-up procedure in April to remove bone spurs.
- Coach Sean Payton has said the team will manage Nix’s workload during the offseason and expects him to be ready for training camp in late July.
- Nix opted for the April clean-up even though it cost him OTAs because he and team doctors believed addressing the bone spurs now would give him a healthier summer and season.
- What to watch next is whether Nix is a full participant at late-July training camp and whether he sustains pre-injury mobility, a return that would boost Denver’s Super Bowl and longshot MVP hopes and shape his contract-extension outlook.
