Overview
- NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Monday the follow-up on Nix’s surgically repaired right ankle was a “successful and anticipated” clean-up, with little or no on-field work expected this spring.
- An Associated Press source said Nix remains on track for training camp and the regular season, and the team plans a conservative approach over the next two months.
- The procedure occurred during a scheduled post‑operative re-check with surgeon Dr. Norman Waldrop III, a routine clean-out that doctors use to remove irritation and support healing after the main repair.
- With OTAs set for early June and mandatory minicamp in mid-June, Denver expects Stidham and Ehlinger to handle quarterback reps and could invite a veteran “camp arm” for depth.
- Team leaders had previously said Nix would be ready for OTAs, and the revised plan has prompted media scrutiny over the Broncos’ shifting public timeline.
