What happened: Head coach Sean Payton confirmed Thursday that Bo Nix participated in walkthrough sessions as he recovers from a fractured right ankle. Nix is expected to return for on-field work during next week's mandatory minicamp.

Why it matters: Nix's health is the primary storyline for a Denver team integrating new talent like wideout Jaylen Waddle this offseason. Management remains optimistic about his progression following two corrective surgeries on his right ankle in 2026.

By the numbers: Nix underwent procedures in January and April to repair a fractured right ankle suffered during the 2026 postseason. He has been sidelined for the first two weeks of the team's OTA schedule while recovering.

What to watch: Denver's mandatory minicamp runs from June 16-18, where Nix is expected to transition from walkthroughs to active drill participation.
