Denver Broncos WR Josh Reynolds was shot twice on Oct. 18

Frightening stuff out of Denver as it was reported Thursday that Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds was shot twice last week.

Reynolds is recovering after being shot in his left arm and back of the head.

Per 9news.com:

Shortly after 3 a.m. on Oct. 18, someone called 911 about a shooting near East Hampden Avenue and South Dahlia Street. The caller reported he was driving a blue Ford Bronco and said he had been shot, according to court documents obtained by 9NEWS.

A second 911 caller said he was being followed and that two of his friends had been shot, the court documents say. That caller was running and said he needed an ambulance. A third caller said they had been shot at.

Officers responded there and located the victims. Among them was Reynolds.
Denver Police have Burr Charlesworth and Luis Mendoza in the case.

The Broncos released a statement on Thursday.

“Josh Reynolds was a victim of a shooting on Friday in Denver and received treatment for minor injuries. Out of respect for the legal process, we will defer further comment on this matter to the authorities.”

 

Broncos blitz Saints in Sean Payton’s homecoming

Sean Payton and the Broncos rolled over the Saints

Revenge was served twice on Thursday. Once for Sean Payton. Once for Wil Lutz. The former coach and kicker for the New Orleans Saints savored the Denver Broncos’ 33-10 victory at the Superdome.

Payton became the eighth coach in NFL history to have beaten every team in the league. After being given the game ball, he said that “meant a lot.”

After two weeks of the season, the Broncos were winless. The Saints were on top of the NFL with two resounding wins.

Scripts have flipped with Denver winning three of four and New Orleans losing five straight.

Injuries have played a role in New Orleans’ collapse. Against Denver, Chris Olave. Rashid Shaheed and Derek Carr were among those out.

However, the defense has crumbled. Denver got 389 yards of total offense, 225 on the ground.

Lutz, meanwhile, had four field goals and three extra points, outscoring New Orleans by himself.

He kicked for six seasons with the Saints before moving on to the Broncos last season with Payton.

Broncos passing game specialist Zack Grossi battling cancer

Broncos passing game specialist Zack Grossi fighting cancer

Denver Broncos passing game specialist Zack Grossi has been diagnosed with cancer, the team announced on Saturday.

Grossi has been with the Broncos since 2022 and was elevated to this role in 2024.

He posted a statement:

“For the last three months, I felt a little bit off, and recently, I began to have trouble breathing. Last week, I went to the Broncos’ medical staff, and they told me we needed to run several tests. I underwent bloodwork and a scan, and that’s when they found the tumor in my chest cavity.

“Officially, I have been diagnosed with a Yolk Sac Tumor.

“The diagnosis is scary, but the good news is it’s highly treatable. I began chemotherapy this week, and after a few more months of chemo, I’ll have surgery to remove the remaining tumor.

“My approach isn’t so different than getting ready for a game. I’ll stay the course, keep working and keep grinding. Day by day is my motto. I have marching orders from my doctors, and I’m trusting the process.

“I don’t want to put a date on my return, but I can’t wait to get back to doing what I love.”

Coach Sean Payton offered his support.

“Our unwavering support is with Zack and his family as he takes some time away to focus on his health,” Payton said. “Knowing what Zack is all about and talking with him since his diagnosis, I have no doubt he will Fight Like A Bronco. We’ll be with him every step of the way and can’t wait to welcome him back to our staff.”

Just when you thought the New York Jets had things going in the right direction, they flip the script to the miserable past.

With a chance to boost their record to 3-1 with a game in London against the undefeated Minnesota Vikings next week, the Jets lost to the Denver Broncos, 10-9, at MetLife Stadium.

That play in the third quarter gave Denver a 7-6 lead.

The Jets countered with a Greg Zuerlein field goal but Wil Lutz hit the game-winner from 47 yards with 8:55 remaining.

Zuerlein missed a 50-yarder that would have given the Jets the lead in the final minute.

Aaron Rodgers was 24-of-42 for 225 yards. Denver limited the Jets to 64 yards on 23 rushing attempts.

Baldinger reviews reel of Bo Nix in Broncos vs Packers

Watch: #Broncos recently announced starter Bo Nix’ film reel reviewed by football legend Brian Baldinger after preseason game vs Green Bay

Though this year will be a rebuilding year for the Denver Broncos, the team’s offense is in good hands with talented rookie Bo Nix who officially got the job of starting QB today.

Two preseason matches don’t give a large sample size for stats but Nix has come out of the gate with a solid performance which could translate to Denvers’ overall league standing improving greatly alongside the young quarterbacks’ progress as he gains more experience in the NFL.

Analyst and former offensive lineman Brian Baldinger shared his reel review of the budding star athlete on Twitter, stating Nix and Sean Payton are in sync and look to be forming the basis of a solid coach/quarterback relationship.

Although Nix has cemented his spot as a starter and possibly secured the future of a Broncos comeback, the battle is still on for the second-string spot, which comes down to Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson.
