Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix appears to have a different outlook on his ankle injuries than head coach Sean Payton.
On Tuesday, Payton told reporters Nix was “predisposed” to have the ankle injury that ended the quarterback’s season after the Broncos’ 33-30 win in overtime over the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round.
“It wasn’t a matter of ‘if,’ it was a matter of ‘when,'” Payton said. “Because when you look at the play and you’re trying to evaluate it, he said, the doctor, operating surgeon, said that this was going to happen, sooner than later. Now you go about the rehab, proper orthotics, all those things.”
On Wednesday, Nix told reporters he thought Payton might have been confused about the situation. He doesn’t believe the issue is chronic.
“Nothing predisposed, nothing that was there,” Nix said, via Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post. “Might have been some confusion there.”
