As the Denver Broncos prepare to face off against the Cleveland Browns on Monday night, all eyes are on rookie quarterback Bo Nix and his health. Nix was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's injury report due to a back injury, but it's important to note that the report was just an estimation since the team only had a walkthrough practice.
It's unclear when Nix sustained the injury, but viewers may have noticed him icing his back on the broadcast during Denver's victory over the Raiders. Despite the injury, Nix still managed to complete an impressive 25 out of 42 passes for 273 yards and two touchdowns, earning him the title of the league's rookie of the week for the third consecutive time. In addition to Nix, defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers was also limited in practice due to a shoulder injury.
However, there is some good news on the injury front for the Broncos. Defensive lineman Zach Allen was listed as a full participant, which is a positive sign considering he missed last week's game and was seen wearing a walking boot on his right foot while on the sidelines. Unfortunately, starting cornerback Riley Moss was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report.
In other related news, wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is on a hot streak heading into his return to Denver, with his teammates describing him as "different" on the field. Meanwhile, Nix continues to make waves in the NFL as he was named the league's top rookie for the third week in a row, setting a new franchise record in the process. As the Broncos' Super Bowl odds continue to fluctuate, head coach Sean Payton fondly recalls his time coaching Jameis Winston and his infectious personality. And for those doubting Nix's abilities, columnist Mark Renck has a message for you - don't be a "nonBoliever" in the young quarterback.
