Bo Nix dismisses the numbers.
The Broncos’ quarterback seemingly has had a pedestrian season so far. His numbers are down from 2025 in completion percentage (64.3 to 59.9), yards per attempt (6.4 to 5.8) and passer rating (87.8 to 80.8). The Broncos rank 30th in total offense after being 10th last season.
Nix, though, doesn’t see it that way.
“Playing good and playing bad, it’s a narrative, and I think it’s honestly kind of something we make up,” Nix said after Tuesday’s practice, via Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette. “I don’t think necessarily I’m playing any different than what I’m normally playing.”
Nix was only 16-of-27 for 123 yards with a touchdown in Sunday’s 23-17 win over the Chargers. He had only one completion longer than 16 yards.
Nix, though, looks at the positive.
“We’re sitting here at 3-2 and having a good start to our season,” Nix said. “There’s things we want to clean up. There’s things we want to fix. We’re leaving some things out there on the field but we’re finding ways to win like we did last year [during a 14-3 season]. I feel strongly that we’re going to continue to do that.”
The Broncos had another walkthrough Tuesday as they get ready for their Thursday night gamea against the Seahawks.
They had only one change to the report from Monday, estimating defensive end Sai’vion Jones (shoulder) as a full participant.
Cornerback Riley Moss (ribs) was again listed as limited participant. He did not play Sunday against the Chargers but appears on track for a return this week.
Safety Talanoa Hufanga (ankle) and cornerback Pat Surtain II (ankle) were both listed as non-participants a second consecutive day. Hufanga exited Sunday’s game, while Surtain did not play after his injury in Week 4.
Safety Brandon Jones (foot) and guard Ben Powers (biceps) were estimated as full participants.
The Seahawks released another estimated practice report on Tuesday and it didn’t feature a change in status for wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba or defensive tackle Leonard Williams.
Both players were listed as limited participants due to ankle injuries for the second straight day. The Seahawks will release injury designations for Thursday’s game against the Broncos on Wednesday.
The only change from Monday’s report was guard Beau Stephens (shoulder) moving from limited to full practice participation.
Linebackers Chazz Surratt (calf) and Drake Thomas (ankle) were listed as out of practice. Running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) and quarterback Drew Lock (right forearm) remained in the limited category while wide receiver Irv Charles (knee) and running back George Holani (ribs, knee) were listed as full participants.
The Broncos did not practice Monday, but the NFL required an estimated injury report ahead of Thursday Night Football.
They estimated cornerback Riley Moss as a limited participant in practice. He did not play Sunday against the Chargers after injuring his ribs in Week 4.
Defensive end Sai’vion Jones (shoulder) was also estimated as limited.
Safety Talanoa Hufanga (ankle) and cornerback Pat Surtain II (ankle) were both listed as non-participants. Hufanga exited Sunday’s game, while Surtain did not play after his injury in Week 4.
Safety Brandon Jones (foot) and guard Ben Powers (biceps) were estimated as full participants.
Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba stayed in Sunday’s loss to the 49ers after having his ankle heavily taped during the first half of the game and the issue landed him on the team’s injury report Monday.
The Seahawks did not hold a practice ahead of Thursday’s game against the Broncos, but they estimated Smith-Njigba as a limited participant because of the ankle injury. Smith-Njigba had five catches for 102 yards and a touchdown on Sunday, but he dropped a third down pass when the Seahawks were trying to tie or win the game on their final possession.
Running back Zach Charbonnet (knee), quarterback Drew Lock (right forearm), guard Beau Stephens (shoulder), and defensive tackle Leonard Williams (ankle) were also listed as limited participants.
Linebackers Chazz Surratt (calf) and Drake Thomas (ankle) would have missed practice on Monday. Wide receiver Irv Charles (knee) and running back George Holani (ribs, knee) were listed as full participants.
