The Denver Broncos have placed quarterback Bo Nix on injured reserve, ending his season officially.
Denver Broncos place QB Bo Nix on season-ending injured reserve
Bo Nix is a major reason the Denver Broncos are playing in the AFC Championship game on Sunday, and his presence will be missed. But as the Broncos push forward with Jarrett Stidham starting in place of Nix, the team officially placed their franchise quarterback on season-ending injured reserve.
Nix had successful surgery on Tuesday in Alabama, and his official timeframe for recovery is unknown at this point. The hope is that Bo will be in attendance in the owner’s suite on Sunday as they host the New England Patriots, but that remains to be known.
Nix finished the season with 3931 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, a 63.4% completion percentage, and helped guide Denver to a 14-3 record, securing the No. 1 seed in the AFC postseason.
With Nix landing on injured reserve, it officially opens up a roster spot on the 53-man roster. The team is officially activating center Luke Wattenberg off of injured reserve and onto the active roster, where he’ll start in Sunday’s game vs. New England after missing the last four games with a shoulder injury.
That should keep Denver’s starting offensive line intact as Stidham steps into Nix’s shoes against the Patriots.
Broncos elevate WR Elijah Moore vs. Patriots
Denver elevated veteran wide receiver Elijah Moore from the practice squad to the gameday roster as well. There’s a chance he could play if Troy Franklin is unable to go.
Franklin suffered a hamstring injury in last week’s game against the Buffalo Bills. He was a limited participant in practice all week and will likely be a gametime decision.
Moore was inactive last week, but could get playing time if Franklin is in fact ruled out.
