Broncos release injury report: WR opens 21-day window to return

Broncos WR Josh Reynolds (finger) returned to practice on Wednesday, opening his 21-day window to return from injured reserve.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) returned to practice on Wednesday, opening his 21-day window to return from injured reserve.

The Broncos now have three weeks to activate Reynolds to the 53-man roster. If he is not activated within the 21-day window, Reynolds will remain on IR for the rest of the season.

Reynolds was originally placed on IR on Oct. 12 after undergoing finger surgery. Less than a week later, Reynolds was shot in his arm and the back of his head after leaving a Denver-area club on Oct. 18. The Broncos described Reynolds’ wounds as minor, and two men have been arrested in connection to the shooting.

Denver safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) and linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) are also practicing and both players are eligible to return from the physically unable to perform list.
