The Broncos&#8217; starting quarterback is not supposed to put any weight on his ankle for at least a month, and he will miss 3 months altogether before he can start practicing.<\/p>\n<p>That means that there is not even a slight chance that Nix could be available to appear on Super Bowl LX on February 8<sup>th<\/sup>, if the Broncos eliminate New England today and advance to the match for the title.<\/p>\n<p>Bo most certainly will be well enough to participate in Denver\u2019s offseason program, but the most important thing for the Nix is what he can do and what he can\u2019t in the upcoming 3 months.<\/p>\n<p>Denver QB sustained his problem late in OT win vs. the Bills in the divisional round.
