Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton provided a positive update on rookie quarterback Bo Nix, stating that the signal-caller is progressing well following his recent shoulder procedure. Payton confirmed on Saturday that Nix is "doing good" and remains on schedule to participate in the team's mandatory minicamp next month, albeit on a limited basis. The primary goal, according to Payton, is ensuring Nix is fully prepared for the start of the full training camp this summer.

Nix underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder, an injury sustained during his final season at Oregon. While the procedure was successful, the team is managing his workload carefully during the offseason program. Payton emphasized that the timeline remains consistent with their expectations following the surgery, indicating confidence in Nix's recovery trajectory.

The coach noted that the limited participation in minicamp will allow Nix to engage in mental work and non-contact drills while continuing his physical rehabilitation. The expectation is that by the time the team reports for training camp, Nix will be cleared to operate at "full speed," allowing him to integrate fully into the offense alongside the veteran quarterbacks. This update suggests the Broncos are optimistic about their first-round draft pick's availability for the crucial summer preparation period.
