Bo Nix Addresses Injury Concerns, Running Style amid Recovery Ahead of Broncos' NFL Season

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix says he isn't planning on changing his playing style following the right ankle injury that prematurely ended his 2025 season.

"Absolutely not," Nix said when asked Saturday if he was considering changing how he takes off this season. "I'm going to roll, and I'm going to be as athletic as I can be... it's a strength of ours, and so we've got to use our strengths.

"For me, that's when I feel at my best, and that's when I feel free, when I'm playing like that, when I'm moving around. It's a good thing. But, at the same time, I also know what it's like to not have that asset and have to stay in the pocket. I feel strong no matter what the play is going to be, no matter what happens defensively, no matter what my reaction is."

When asked about sliding, Nix answered, "It's always the situation. If I'm out, and get a first down, I'll go down. Won't take unnecessary hits. At the same time, a key third or fourth down, you have to go get the first down. That's why you train hard in the offseason to withstand those hits."

Nix suffered his season-ending injury during the Broncos' overtime divisional-round win over the Buffalo Bills on Jan. 17. He underwent a clean-up surgery in April from which he had recovered in time to participate in training camp.
