Broncos head coach Sean Payton was asked about Nix’s progress with the injury Saturday after Day 3 of the NFL Draft, and the coach did not disclose Nix’s second procedure.
“He had a recheck that was scheduled. He’s doing well. We’re excited about his progress. Nothing to report,” Payton said.
Payton said Nix has been in the building to rehab. Nix said earlier in the offseason that his ankle would not be a problem.
