Broncos' Bo Nix: Looks sharp in preseason debut
Bo Nix completed six of nine passes for 76 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Denver Broncos' 33-13 preseason loss to the Packers on Friday.Drawing the start after sitting out the Broncos' preseason opener, Nix helped Denver answer a Packers' opening-drive touchdown with a sharp possession of his own. The third-year signal-caller couldn't connect with Courtland Sutton deep on his first pass attempt, but he went right back to Jaylen Waddle for a 35-yard gain on the next play. Nix would cap off the possession three plays later with a 21-yard scoring strike to RJ Harvey, and he was back out there the second time the Broncos had the ball and helped lead them to three more points. The fact Nix played into the second quarter makes it likelier he sits out the preseason finale against the Vikings and next takes the field on Monday night, Sept. 14 in a Week 1 road battle against the Chiefs.

Broncos' Bo Nix: In line to play in Friday's preseason contest
Coach Sean Payton said Bo Nix is expected to play roughly 14 snaps during Friday's preseason game against the Packers, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.Nix was rested preseason Week 1 in Atlanta, but he'll see his first game action this week since suffering a broken bone in his right ankle during the Denver Broncos' divisional-round win against the Bills. After undergoing surgery shortly thereafter and another clean-up procedure in April, he took part in mandatory minicamp in June and opened training camp in late July as a full participant. Considering Nix is poised to get a possession or two Friday, he likely will get to work with new WR Jaylen Waddle in a game setting for the first time.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Unlocking deep ball at camp
Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph said Bo Nix's deep accuracy has been "off the charts" at training camp, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.Through two NFL seasons, Nix has mostly provided value via sack avoidance, scrambling and short-area accuracy. His 36.9 percent completion rate on passes 20-plus yards downfield last season ranked near the bottom of the league, but he also dealt with a number of drops on those throws from his receivers. The Broncos think he has another level to unlock, with new wideout Jaylen Waddle being a big part of that plan.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Works fully Wednesday
Bo Nix (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's training camp practice, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.Nix had been limited during the team's offseason program while working his way back from ankle surgery and a follow-up procedure, but as expected, he was ready for training camp's first practice and looked sharp during red-zone work in the process. As the coming campaign approaches, Nix's fantasy prospects should be bolstered by the fact that Denver added Jaylen Waddle, via a trade with the Dolphins this offseason, to a WR corps that returns Courtland Sutton, giving the team a notable 1-2 punch at the position.

Broncos' Bo Nix: In line to practice next week
Coach Sean Payton said Thursday that Bo Nix (ankle) is expected to practice at mandatory minicamp next week, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.Nix suffered a fracture in his right ankle near the ned of the Denver Broncos' divisional-round win against the Bills and missed the AFC Championship Game loss to the Patriots. After undergoing surgery in late January, he was facing a 12-week recovery, but his on-field work during the offseason program was delayed due to a clean-up procedure that he had in late April. Payton noted Thursday that Nix participated in the walkthrough prior to Thursday's OTA, while adding that he believes Nix will be "completely clean, mobility-wise," once he's back to full health, according to Stevens. The dual threat has combined for 7,706 passing yards and 786 rushing yards in 34 regular-season games since he was selected 12th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft.
