Broncos coach reveals plan for Bo Nix ahead of Vikings matchup
Summary

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton announced that quarterback Bo Nix is unlikely to play in the preseason finale against the Minnesota Vikings scheduled for this weekend. Nix has participated in just 14 snaps during the preseason, completing 6 of 9 passes for 76 yards and one touchdown in his only extensive appearance against the Green Bay Packers. This decision comes following Nix's previous offseason ankle surgery and a disappointing team performance in their last game, losing 33-13 to the Packers. The Broncos aim to preserve Nix's readiness for the regular-season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, where he will face Patrick Mahomes. Further updates are expected as the game approaches.
