Bo Nix Injury News
View AllBo Nix To Miss Rest Of Playoffs With Broken Ankle
Broncos QB Bo Nix needs surgery for a broken ankle suffered in Saturday's win over the Bills and will miss the rest of the playoffs, HC Sean Payton announced. It's unclear when Nix suffered the injury, as he didn't miss a single snap vs. Buffalo. We'll look for more info on Nix's injury and timeline for return, but it's unlikely to impact his 2026 season. It's obviously a brutal blow to the Broncos' playoff hopes, though. They'll turn to QB Jarrett Stidham in next Sunday's AFC Championship vs. the Patriots or Texans. Stidham has not thrown a regular-season pass since 2023. He started the final two games of the season for Denver that year, completing 60.6% of his passes at 7.4 yards per attempt with two TDs vs. one INT.
Update: Nix fractured a bone in his right ankle on the second-to-last play of overtime and will have surgery on Tuesday, Payton said.
Bo Nix Played Through Back Injury
Broncos QB Bo Nix revealed that he played through transverse process fractures in his back. "Yes, I got twisted up a little bit, had three process fractures. A lot of guys play with a lot of those kinds of things," he said earlier this month, per ESPN. The injury popped up vs. Vegas in Week 12. Denver had a Monday night game in Week 13, and then a Week 14 bye. "I wasn't going to miss the first Monday night game. I got treatment on it, and then we were fortunate to have an off week that next week. It kind of went away after that. It was annoying, but we all play with annoying [ailments]," he said. Nix played well down the stretch, ultimately finishing as the QB8 in total fantasy points.
