The last time the Denver Broncos saw starting quarterback Bo Nix on the field, they watched him lead the team to a massive divisional-round playoff win, only to find out after the game that he broke his ankle, ending his season. That injury kept him out of the AFC Championship Game, cost them a legitimate chance to reach the Super Bowl (and perhaps win it), and left his availability for the start of the 2026 season in some jeopardy.
In what was sure to be a pleasant sign for the Broncos and their fans, he was back on the field on Friday night in their preseason game against the Green Bay Packers and gave the team and its fans something to be excited about.
Broncos QB Bo Nix looks strong in return
Nix made his 2026 season debut on Friday, completing 6-of-9 passes for 76 yards and a touchdown, while also leading another scoring drive.
His touchdown was a 21-yard strike to RJ Harvey on Denver’s opening series.
