Welcome to NFL live. Hey, the Steelers continue to wait for Aaron Rogers to make up his mind on whether or not he will play this season.

0:38.2

Can they take the next step after a busy off season if he comes back?

0:42.0

I think and when he comes back, but we'll see.

0:44.2

And a former coach called out the Eagles for their regression on offense last season.

0:47.9

We'll discuss if play calling was to blame and if it'll carry over to this season, a lot to come on that.

So glad you're with us, and guess who else is here? They're all right there. Lewis Riddick, Boogger McFarlane. Chase Daniel joining us today. Let's get right to it, you guys. We're going to begin with news around Broncos quarterback Bo Nix, who had another surgery in Alabama.

1:14.4

There's still work. Daniel joining us today. Let's get right to it, you guys. We're going to begin with news around Broncos quarterback Bo Nix, who had another surgery in Alabama. They're still working on his ankle that took him out in the postseason. The injury happening on that play. Here's NFL Network Insider Ian Rappaport on the Pat McAfee Show earlier today with more context on the procedure.

1:27.3

I think when he had it most recently examined after the... earlier today with more context on the procedure.

1:32.6

I think when he had it most recently examined after the, obviously, fractured ankle,

1:36.9

they thought, all right, maybe there's going to be another surgery just to make sure it's healing properly and to clean some stuff up.

1:38.5

So that's what happened.

1:39.5

But I would expect him to be ready for training camp or very close to training camp.

1:43.7

So, like, it's, you know, second surgery sounds bad. I don't really think this is that bad. It's kind of more like, like, Dak had the same thing when he was coming back from his ankle and went on to play great. Like I don't think this is a, it's a thing, but I don't think it's anything that's going to derail his season or anywhere close. Okay, so a little bit consoling there, right, for Broncos fans. Chase, is someone who played the position in the league for a very long time. Do you have any concerns about Knicks missing most of the offseason program with a second ankle surgery? There's zero concerns at all. I think that Bo Nick is one of of the better quarterback to the ASC. He's proven to do that. I think the Broncos are the class of the AFC, really. And when you look at what they've been able to do, and you look at how Bo Nix moves around, he is a guy that scrambles quite a bit. So when you have an injury on your right ankle and then you have a cleanup procedure, that's sort of your plant leg, right? That's your leg that gets all the power.

2:39.0

And when you look at the film last year, that was at times something that got him out of control

2:45.3

with this footwork within the pocket, right? So he was a little bit abnormal with his footwork

2:50.7

and then coming off this this ankle surgery, really this cleanup, it? So he was a little bit abnormal with this footwork and then coming off this

2:51.7

ankle surgery, really this cleanup. It's going to be interesting to see how he handles it because

2:57.0

he is a guy that likes to move around, but I don't have any concerns whatsoever with him.
