Bo Nix to have ankle surgery; Jarrett Stidham in line to start for Broncos

According to Cbssports, Broncos quarterback Bo Nix fractured a bone in his ankle on the penultimate play of overtime in their divisional-round win over the Bills and is scheduled to have surgery on Tuesday.

The Broncos will play for the AFC Championship without their starting quarterback. Jarrett Stidham is in line to start just his fifth career game and would make his first pass since the 2023 season when Denver hosts the Patriots, who defeated the Texans in a turnover frenzy.

Surgery is scheduled for Tuesday and Stidham's expected start would mark his return to game action. Conference championship matchups are set, with Denver awaiting the Patriots in the AFC and Seattle set to face the Rams in the NFC.
