Right now, the Denver Broncos’ starting quarterback is Bo Nix, but because he just suffered a season‑ending ankle injury in the playoffs, Jarrett Stidham is the one stepping in to play quarterback for Denver in the immediate future.

Current Broncos QB situation

  • Bo Nix has been Denver’s starting quarterback, leading the Broncos to multiple playoff appearances and helping them secure the top seed in the AFC.
  • In the divisional-round win over the Bills, Nix fractured his right ankle and is out for the rest of this postseason after surgery.
  • With Nix sidelined, Sean Payton and the Broncos are turning to Jarrett Stidham to start, including for the upcoming AFC Championship Game.

Depth chart and “who will be QB?”

  • The current QB depth chart is: 
    •   1. Bo Nix (injured, long‑term starter)

    •   2. Jarrett Stidham (veteran backup now taking over)

    •   3. Sam Ehlinger (third‑string option).
  • For the longer term (beyond this injury), Nix is still expected to remain the Broncos’ main starting quarterback once healthy, while Stidham is viewed as the experienced backup who can hold down the job during this playoff run.

Quick forum-style take

“Who will be Broncos QB?”
For this playoff stretch: Jarrett Stidham is under center, trying to carry a top‑seeded team after Bo Nix’s brutal ankle injury.

For the future seasons: it’s still Bo Nix’s job to lose once he’s healthy again, given how well he’s played and how firmly the staff has backed him.

TL;DR: Bo Nix is the Broncos’ franchise QB, but because of his season‑ending ankle injury, Jarrett Stidham is the Broncos quarterback right now and for the rest of this playoff run.
