Nix broke a bone in his ankle during Saturday's win over the Bills and will miss the remainder of the season, Payton announced.

It's unclear when Nix suffered the injury, as he didn't miss a snap during the win and spoke to the CBS broadcast on the field as normal after the victory.

Jarrett Stidham is Nix's backup and is in line to make his first start in more than two years in the AFC Championship Game.
