Bo Nix Throws TD in Return From Broken Ankle
The Broncos quarterback went 6 of 9 for 76 yards, connecting with new receiver Jaylen Waddle and running back RJ Harvey, in his first game action since fracturing his ankle in last season's playoffs.
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix threw a touchdown pass in his first game action since fracturing his ankle in last season's playoffs, going 6 of 9 for 76 yards across 14 snaps in Friday's 33-13 preseason loss to Green Bay.
How did the touchdown come together?
Nix opened the game 3 of 4 on Denver's first series, including a 35-yard connection with newly acquired receiver Jaylen Waddle, before capping the drive with a 21-yard touchdown pass to running back RJ Harvey.
What was the injury he's coming back from?
Nix fractured his right ankle on one of the final plays of an AFC Divisional Round overtime win over Buffalo last postseason and underwent two offseason surgeries to repair it. Friday marked his season debut following that recovery.
