The Denver Broncos have officially placed quarterback Bo Nix on injured reserve due to a fractured right ankle, effectively ruling him out for the remainder of the postseason. This injury occurred during an intense moment in last weekend’s game against the Buffalo Bills, a thrilling matchup that ended with a 33-30 victory for the Broncos. After undergoing surgery with Dr. Norman Waldrop in Alabama, coach Sean Payton reported that the operation was successful.
In a heartfelt message on his Instagram, Nix expressed his mixed emotions about the recent turn of events. He described the playoff game as one of the most exciting experiences of his career, contrasting it with the “devastating” news of his injury. Despite his disappointment, Nix voiced strong support for his team and confidence in his backup, Jarrett Stidham, who will be taking the helm as the starting quarterback for the upcoming AFC Championship game against the New England Patriots.
“I can’t express how much this team and organization mean to me and how much I believe in them,” Nix stated. He emphasized his pride in the team’s accomplishments and his excitement for their future endeavors.
Looking ahead, Stidham and the Broncos are poised to face a challenging matchup against New England, with hopes of advancing to Super Bowl LX. Meanwhile, Nix will focus on his rehabilitation in preparation for the 2026 NFL season. As the team unites in the face of adversity, their determination remains strong, showcasing the resilience that defines sports at this level.
