Bo Nix back to full speed after offseason procedure
by Bruno Mulé | Broncos Correspondent | Tue, Feb 25th 3:49pm EST
Broncos HC Sean Payton announced Tuesday that Bo Nix has fully resumed workouts at team facilities with no restrictions following a minor offseason procedure. The surgery was unrelated to the back issue he managed in 2024 and forced him to skip the Pro Bowl, but it’s not impacting his prep for 2025. As a rookie, the 2024 first-round pick posted 3,775 passing yards, 29 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions on a 66% completion rate, while adding 430 rushing yards and four scores. Payton noted Nix is on track for OTAs as he continues to settle into the Denver offense.
Fantasy Impact:
Nix’s 2024 numbers—29 passing touchdowns and over 400 rushing yards—made him a viable fantasy quarterback as a rookie, particularly with his ability to contribute on the ground. His full recovery from the procedure keeps him on course for a potential step forward in Year 2 as he adapts to Payton’s system. Fantasy managers can view him as a mid-round option with the chance to deliver low-end QB1 production, especially if Denver leans on his dual-threat skill set. Watch training camp updates for hints of growing chemistry with his receivers.
