Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds is recovering from two gunshot wounds after he and another man were fired upon in the Denver area early last Friday.
“Josh Reynolds was a victim of a shooting on Friday in Denver and received treatment for minor injuries,” the Broncos said in a statement Thursday. “Out of respect for the legal process, we will defer further comment on this matter to the authorities.”
Denver police said they have arrested two men in connection with the shootings, which occurred around 3 a.m. on Oct. 18 along a stretch of Interstate 25 south of downtown. Both suspects are being held for investigation of attempted first-degree murder and first-degree assault.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting remain under investigation, according to Denver police, and detectives are working to identify any additional possible suspects.
Reynolds is currently on injured reserve with a broken finger and did not travel with the Broncos to New Orleans for their Thursday night win over the Saints on Oct. 17. Players on IR aren’t available to speak with reporters.
Reynolds is his first season with the Broncos after signing a two-year, $9 million contract last offseason. The veteran WR has played in five games, producing 12 passes for 183 yards and a touchdown.
Reynolds spent the last three seasons with Detroit. He’s also played for the Titans and the Rams, who drafted him in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft out of Texas A&M.
