Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has completed a scheduled follow-up surgery on his right ankle, according to NFL Network reports released Tuesday.
The 26-year-old signal-caller suffered a season-ending ankle fracture during Denver’s victory against the Buffalo Bills in their AFC divisional playoff matchup. He had initial surgery performed in Alabama just two days following the injury.
As Nix prepares for his third professional season, team officials expect his participation in voluntary offseason workouts and organized team activities to be limited, sources indicate. The Broncos organization intends to proceed cautiously with their quarterback’s recovery timeline, with NFL Network reporting the team will take things “very easy” with him.
Denver head coach Sean Payton addressed Nix’s condition during Saturday remarks, stating: “He had a recheck that was scheduled. He’s doing great. We’re excited about his progress. These guys will be coming in here. … He’s here.”
