The Denver Broncos will be playing in the AFC Championship Game next Sunday following a wild overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills. But the team may have some concerning news to deal with coming out of that exciting victory.
Following the game, CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson noted that Nix appeared to be hurt following the win. It's unclear when this could have happened and Nix didn't seem to be in any discomfort following the game, but he also would have had a ton of adrenaline going through him after a game like that.
In his two seasons in the league, Nix has yet to miss a start for the Broncos. He played quite well against Buffalo, matching the effort put forth by Bills quarterback Josh Allen by completing 26 of 46 passes for 279 yards with three touchdowns and one interception.

However, if the Broncos were forced to play without him next weekend, that would be a massive setback.
It seems unlikely that he suffered any kind of major injury, but it is worth keeping an eye on in the coming week. Broncos Country will collectively hold their breath that Wolfson is just doing a good job of being a reporter, but that it's nothing that will hold him back.
If Nix were unable to play, Jarrett Stidham would get the start in the AFC Championship Game.
