Denver Broncos star quarterback Bo Nix provided an encouraging update amid his recovery after undergoing two separate surgeries for the fractured right ankle he suffered in the AFC divisional round against the Buffalo Bills in January.

Nix underwent an initial surgery after suffering the injury and then had a follow-up surgery to deal with bone spurs in April. He's recovering well from both surgeries and is on track to be ready for the start of Broncos training camp at the end of July.

Nix provided some insight into the thought process behind his second surgery during Denver's mandatory minicamp this week.

" felt pretty good, was still having a little bit of an issue with bone spurs. What we did was -- even though I probably could've gone again and [played] the whole season again -- it was just aggravating me for too long," Nix explained.

"So, what we did was, since I was a little bit ahead, thought it best to go ahead and decompress it a little bit. Then still had plenty of time to get back for the summer and to prepare for the season. ... Just wanted to go ahead and get [the spurs] out of the way for good. ... The doctors told me that the ankle looks good as new. We're right back to normal.''

Nix was a limited participant at minicamp, but Broncos head coach Sean Payton was impressed with what he saw from the star signal-caller.

"He's doing well, he's doing really well,'' Payton said of Nix. "He'll clearly be ready in time for training camp. ... It's good to have him out here in uniform.''
