Bo Nix had a chance to become a Pro Bowler, but instead opted out.
The Broncos rookie quarterback was offered a spot in this week’s Pro Bowl activities after Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson and Buffalo’s Josh Allen dropped out and first alternate Patrick Mahomes advanced to his fifth Super Bowl appearance in six years. However, Nix had to pass on the opportunity because of a previously scheduled medical procedure, a source confirmed.
The source characterized the procedure as minor but did not specify what it was. It is scheduled for Wednesday, the day that Pro Bowl festivities begin.
