Broncos head coach Sean Payton was asked about Nix’s progress with the injury on Saturday after Day 3 of the NFL Draft, and the coach did not reveal Nix’s second procedure.
“He had a recheck scheduled. He’s doing great. We’re excited about his progress. There’s nothing to report,” Payton said.
Payton said Nix has been rehabbing the building. Nix said earlier in the offseason that his ankle wouldn’t be an issue.

Denver missed Nix greatly in the AFC Championship Game, which they lost 10-7 to the New England Patriots with backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham. The Broncos won the AFC West last season at 14-3 and will look to repeat this season.
