Broncos head coach Sean Payton was asked about Nix’s progress with his injury Saturday after the third day of the NFL Draft, and the coach did not disclose Nix’s second procedure.
“He had a recheck that was scheduled. He’s doing great. We’re excited about his progress. Nothing to report,” Payton said.
Payton said Nix was rehabbing, and Nix said earlier in the offseason that his ankle wouldn’t be a problem.

The former Oregon star is expected to be ready for training camp, but his participation in the offseason program may be limited, according to the report. The Broncos’ offseason program begins Monday.
Denver sorely missed Nix 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 14-3 and will look to repeat this season.
