Former Cowboys QB signs with Broncos after Bo Nix injury 🏈

In the craziest twist to this year’s NFL Playoffs, the Denver Broncos lost starting quarterback Bo Nix to a broken ankle suffered in an AFC Divisional Round overtime win over the Buffalo Bills. 🏈💥 He stayed on the field for two more plays to finish the game-winning drive, showing no obvious signs of injury.

The real shock came an hour later, when Broncos head coach Sean Payton held a second postgame press conference to disclose Nix’s injury and that he was headed to surgery, forcing them to start Jarrett Stidham in next Sunday’s AFC Championship Game against the New England Patriots. ⏱️🗣️

The Broncos, with little time to waste, moved quickly to sign a third healthy quarterback and turned to former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Ben DiNucci to be the emergency third-string quarterback behind Stidham and Sam Ehlinger. ⚡🧰

“Broncos are signing veteran QB Ben DiNucci to their practice squad, per source,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter wrote on X. “He rejoins the team he played for two seasons ago.” 🗨️📣

DiNucci spent all of 2023 with the Broncos on the practice squad, so he’s familiar with the offensive system, and he’s the former Cowboys QB. 🔁🏈
