Bo Nix Placed on Injured Reserve Due to Ankle Injury, Out for Playoffs

The Denver Broncos placed quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday. Nix was previously ruled out for the remainder of the playoffs after breaking a bone in his ankle during the AFC divisional round win over the Bills. This move is procedural, opening a roster spot for center Luke Wattenberg. Jarrett Stidham will start at quarterback for the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game, with Sam Ehlinger serving as the backup.
