Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix appeared to be bothered by a back injury Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, but the team never announced that Nix had suffered an injury.
Nix played the entire game and neither he nor coach Sean Payton mentioned any type of injury afterward a 29:19 win. Payton said during his conference call Monday, “I will not suffer any injuries today.”
Therefore, we likely won't officially know if Nix has any injury until the team releases an injury report later this week. The fact that he finished the game and didn't mention injury seems to be a good sign.
Both QBs Bo Nix and Gardner Minshew were injured. Nothing bundled up and played. Minshew left the game after his left shoulder arm was bruised

Elsewhere on the injury front, Payton broke his stance on not making an injury update, saying that defensive lineman Zach Allen (heel) “should be fineAfter Sunday's game, Payton said the injury to cornerback Riley Moss (MCL) “wasn't really serious.”
It sounds like good news for Denver overall, but we'll learn more when the first injury report comes out midweek.
