Broncos’ Bo Nix Gets Honest About Injury Return After Preseason Loss
Bo Nix gave his honest assessment of how he felt returning to the field for a Broncos preseason game months after his injury.
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix made his return to action for the team in a preseason game against the Green Bay Packers on Friday night. Coach Sean Payton had Nix play as the starting quarterback for a brief period. Nix performed well, completing 6 of 9 passes for 76 yards and threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to receiver RJ Harvey.
However, the Packers outscored the Broncos 26-3 in the final three quarters, resulting in a 33-13 victory for Green Bay. After the game, Nix expressed that getting back on the field was smooth and comfortable, simply treating it like a practice rep. The most challenging aspect was not preparing as much for the preseason game due to time constraints.
Nix mentioned feeling exactly where he left off, months after recovering from a fractured ankle sustained in the NFL Playoffs. Nix indicated he would be ready to play in the next preseason game if called upon, but ultimately, he has no control over that decision. Despite the loss, Nix's performance bodes well for the Broncos' goal of making another run towards the Super Bowl. Their season begins against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football on September 14.
