Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix is on track in his recovery from a fractured ankle and expected to participate in mandatory minicamp on June 16-18, head coach Sean Payton said Thursday.

The Broncos' first three days of voluntary OTAs concluded Thursday, the first session open to the media. Nix was in attendance but did not participate with the team during this time.

'It's good,' Payton said of Nix's progress in his recovery after fracturing his right ankle in Denver's divisional-round playoff win over the Buffalo Bills on Jan. 17.

'You don't see the pre-practice, but he's been throwing,' the coach said. 'I do think in our third week, when you guys (media) are out here for three straight days, I think you'll see more of a role.'

Denver has a second week of OTAs slated for June 9-11, with Nix expected to miss that as well, Payton said.

Quarterbacks Jarrett Stidham and Sam Ehlinger are competing for the backup position behind Nix.

Nix, 26, had surgery three days after the injury, and underwent a pre-planned cleanup procedure on the ankle in April.

He has been a spark in the two seasons since Denver picked him 12th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. He has posted a 24-10 regular-season record with a 64.8 completion percentage, 7,706 passing yards and 54 touchdowns to 23 interceptions. He has also rushed for 786 yards and nine TDs, leading the Broncos to the playoffs both years.
