What happened: Nix said Saturday that he feels at his best when he is on the move. He returned to practice in June following surgery and a subsequent cleanup procedure.
Why it matters: The declaration reinforces his training-camp recovery timeline. His January injury ended his postseason after Denver's divisional-round victory.
By the numbers: Nix fractured his right ankle Jan. 17 and underwent surgery three days later. A late-April procedure removed bone spurs from the same ankle.
What to watch: Denver's preseason work will offer the first measure of how often Nix scrambles under game conditions.
