The Denver Broncos were a surprising team this season. Despite the egregious cap hit from Russell Wilson’s contract, the team put together a quality season and made the postseason under rookie quarterback Bo Nix.

"The scope procedure that caused Broncos QB Bo Nix to pass up his first-ever Pro Bowl appearance last month was to his ankle, per source," Klis tweeted earlier this week. "It was a pre-existing matter -- not something that happened during the season -- that Nix wanted to get cleaned up, per source."

The former Pinson Valley and Auburn standout did not run at last year’s NFL Scouting Combine because of turf toe.
