""I'm excited for this offseason. [It's] definitely not the way you want [a season] to end, but my sights are already on next year," Nix said roughly 48 hours after Denver's 10-7 loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game. "How I can be better, how I can lead the team better, and play better. ... I'll feel as good as new.""
"The Broncos' offseason took a sharp turn in the minutes following the Buffalo win, when their medical staff determined that Nix broke his ankle on a quarterback keeper three plays before Wil Lutz's game-winning field goal. Instead of a Super Bowl hangover, this becomes an offseason of correcting lost promise, getting Nix healthy and making moves to improve Denver's offense."
""We go back to the start of the race," Broncos coach Sean Payton said last week. "Thirty-two teams have to go back and go meet their parents, eat their oranges and get ready to start again. That's really important." That reset starts with Nix. The soon-to-be 26-year-old said his recovery from what he calls a "typical bone break" will be " four to six weeks." He added that the recovery timetable fits what his offseason plan would have been even if he had not been injured. That should put Nix on track to participate in the Broncos' offseason program in April and be on the field for the first set of organized team activities in May."
Bo Nix underwent surgery to repair a fractured right ankle suffered during the Broncos' AFC divisional playoff win over the Buffalo Bills. He expects a four-to-six-week recovery and anticipates being ready for the offseason program in April and organized team activities in May. The Broncos lost 10-7 to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game after their offense stalled in the second half. Coach Sean Payton framed the offseason as a reset and the team has already begun making offensive changes, including firing offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, to improve performance while prioritizing Nix's rehabilitation.
