Latest Update on Bo Nix Injury Ahead of Broncos vs. Patriots AFC Title Game

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has officially been moved to injured reserve ahead of Sunday’s AFC Championship game.

Center Luke Wattenberg was activated to the 53-man roster in a corresponding move, the Broncos announced.

Nix underwent ankle surgery Tuesday after suffering a season-ending injury in last Saturday’s divisional round win over the Buffalo Bills.

Jarrett Stidham is slated to start in his place when the Broncos kick off against the visiting New England Patriots on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET.
