   Bo Nix ready for training camp, says bone spurs caused second ankle surgery

   Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix returned to offseason practice on Tuesday and confirmed he is on track to be fully healthy for training camp.

   • A second surgery was initially described as a ‘cleanup procedure’ by some reports, though Nix and the team have not confirmed this phrasing beyond the bone spurs explanation.
   • Nix hinted at improved mobility post-surgery but did not provide specific details on how the procedures may have affected his long-term durability.
