Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports revealed some positive news about the Broncos quarterback. Schultz said,
“Interesting nugget out of the NFL owners meetings: Not only is#Broncos QB Bo Nix a full go for the team’s offseason program with zero limitations, fully recovered from ankle surgery—he’s actually further along than he typically is in his offseason conditioning program, per sources. Some very good news for the Broncos with their franchise QB.”
If Denver is going to get to a Super Bowl next season, he is going to have to stay healthy. Nix will be entering his third year in the NFL next season. He will need to have a big year also.
