Payton told reporters that there is a “good chance” we see quarterback Bo Nix on the field in some capacity for June’s minicamp practices, but they will play it safe with him. He also added that Nix will be full-go in July and be ready well ahead of the start of training camp.
As we know, Bo Nix suffered a broken ankle in the final plays of the Broncos’ thrilling overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. He would undergo surgery on his ankle in the following days and was expected to be ready to go come the start of the Broncos’ offseason practices. However, after the draft, news dropped that Nix underwent a cleanup procedure on his ankle, and the timeline for him to be ready shifted to the start of training camp.
This obviously concerned many Broncos fans and media, but today’s update is one that should calm the masses down some. Payton told the media that they will be playing it safe and will be the ones taking it slow, while Nix will be the one pushing to do more. However, the update that he will be out there in some capacity in the month of June is really positive news. Payton added that Nix will be full-go in July, well ahead of the start of Broncos training camp, and that he will have no limitations once those practices begin.
