After breaking his ankle in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs last weekend, Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix underwent season-ending surgery with Dr. Norman Waldrop in Birmingham, Alabama, on Tuesday.
One day after that procedure, the Broncos took the practice field on Wednesday as they began preparing to host the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game on Sunday. After practice, Denver coach Sean Payton said Nix's surgery went well.
Payton said players have visited with Nix individually, and the coach expects Nix will be around the team once he's able.
