Bo Nix Undergoes Another Surgery After Season-Ending Injury — What It Means For His Future

The Denver Broncos received an update on Bo Nix’s injured ankle on Tuesday. The quarterback suffered a season-ending injury against the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the 2025 NFL playoffs, sounding the alarms ahead of next season.

Jeff Legwold of ESPN reported on Tuesday that Nix underwent a second procedure on his ankle last week.

“Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix had a second procedure on his surgically repaired right ankle during a follow-up visit with Dr. Norman Waldrop III last week in Birmingham, Alabama, sources told ESPN on Tuesday,” Legwold wrote.

“Nix still is expected to be ready for training camp, but his participation in the Broncos’ offseason program, which is set to begin Monday, could be limited, sources said.”

Sean Payton Shares Update On Bo Nix’s Recovery

Legwold asked Broncos head coach Sean Payton about Nix’s recovery, with Payton saying there was nothing to report.

“He had a recheck that was scheduled. He’s doing great. We’re excited about his progress. Nothing to report,” Payton said.

Hopefully, this update doesn’t bother Nix, who didn’t appreciate his coach commenting on his procedures months ago.

“Nothing predisposed, nothing that was there originally. That might have gotten confused…I don’t think he really should share how many surgeries I’ve had in the past to be honest with you because he doesn’t really know that…Nothing that concerns me, nothing that scares me going forward like I’m injury prone or anything. This was just one of those inconvenient football plays and I’m excited already to get back to work.”

The Broncos have renewed expectations for 2026, but they need a healthy Nix to achieve their goals.
