  "summary": "Quarterback Bo Nix will sit out the Denver Broncos' preseason opener at Atlanta, according to coach Sean Payton. Nix, who has been recovering from two right ankle surgeries in the offseason, did not miss any snaps at training camp. The decision not to play Nix in the preseason opener has nothing to do with the offensive line injuries, with starting center Luke Wattenberg and backup Alex Forsyth also sidelined. Payton expects Nix to play in the regular season games against the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings.",
