Broncos will have to make a Josh Reynolds decision this week

The Broncos have to make a decision on WR Josh Reynolds this week.

The Denver Broncos will have to make a roster decision soon.

After activating linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) from the physically unable to perform list last week, the Broncos now need to make a decision on wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger).

If Reynolds is not activated from injured reserve by Wednesday, he will remain on IR for the rest of the season.

Elsewhere on the IR front, running back Tyler Badie (back) is yet to return to practice. Once he returns to practice, Badie will have a 21-day window to return to the 53-man roster.

Here’s a look at the team’s IR/PUP players eligible to return going into Week 14.

Broncos eligible to return from IR/PUP

WR Josh Reynolds: Deadline to return is Dec. 4
RB Tyler Badie: Eligible to return to practice

The Broncos also have two players — linebacker Alex Singleton (ACL) and offensive lineman Quinn Bailey (ankle) — who are on season-ending IR.

If Denver activates Reynolds, the team will have to make a corresponding move to create a spot for Reynolds on the active roster.

Recapping the 5 roster moves Broncos made this week

Greg Dulcich out, Drew Sanders back, Zach Cunningham up and Calvin Throckmorton down. The Broncos have been busy with roster moves.

The Denver Broncos have been busy with transactions this week.

The moves started on Monday when the Broncos waived tight end Greg Dulcich, who was picked up by the New York Giants one day later.

To fill Dulcich’s old spot on the 53-man roster, Denver activated linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) from the physically unable to perform list. Sanders is now back on the active roster.

The cuts continued on Tuesday when the Broncos waived offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton. That move was made to make room for linebacker Zach Cunningham to be promoted from the practice squad on Wednesday.

Throckmorton cleared waivers on Wednesday and he is now set to re-sign with the team’s practice squad.

Now the team will have to make a decision on wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger). If he is not activated from injured reserve before Dec. 4, Reynolds will spend the rest of the season on IR.

Broncos sign linebacker to 53-man roster

The Broncos promoted LB Zach Cunningham from the practice squad to the 53-man roster on Wednesday.

After waiving offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton from the 53-man roster on Tuesday, the Denver Broncos filled his former spot on the active roster on Wednesday.

The Broncos have promoted linebacker Zach Cunningham from the practice squad to the 53-man roster, the team announced. Throckmorton, meanwhile, cleared waivers on Wednesday and he is set to re-sign with the practice squad officially on Thursday.

Throckmorton and Cunningham have essentially swapped places on the active roster and practice squad this week. Cunningham was out of practice squad elevations, as was fellow inside linebacker Kwon Alexander.

Denver’s active roster is now full, which presumably means wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) will not be activated from injured reserve this week. The Broncos have to make a decision on Reynolds before Dec. 4. If he is not activated to the 53-man roster before that deadline, Reynolds will spend the rest of the season on injured reserve.

Speaking of injuries, Denver was not required to release an injury report on Wednesday because the team plays on Monday in Week 13. Broncos coach Sean Payton declined to provide an injury update after Wednesday’s practice, so there’s no word yet on the statuses of cornerback Riley Moss and defensive lineman Zach Allen.

Broncos cut offensive lineman from 53-man roster

The Broncos cut OL Calvin Throckmorton, a move that could be making room for WR Josh Reynolds to return.

The Denver Broncos are waiving offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton, according to a report from the Denver Post‘s Parker Gabriel.

Throckmorton was promoted from the practice squad to the 53-man roster on Nov. 1 after the team lost starting center Luke Wattenberg to an ankle injury. He has served as a backup swing guard/center this month, but Wattenberg has since returned and Denver needed to open up active roster spots.

If he clears waivers, Wattenberg will presumably return to the Broncos on the practice squad. His spot on the 53-man roster will likely be taken by wide receiver Josh Reynolds, who is ready to return from injured reserve this week after recovering from a finger injury.

Denver also cut tight end Greg Dulcich this week to make room for linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) to return from the physically unable to perform list. Sanders is now back on the 53-man roster and Reynolds will presumably join him on the active roster in the coming days.

Broncos will have to make a Drew Sanders decision this week

The Broncos have to make a decision on LB Drew Sanders this week.

The Denver Broncos will have to make at least one roster decision this week.

After letting the deadline for pass for Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) to return from the physically unable to perform list last week, the Broncos will keep Turner-Yell on the PUP list for the rest of the season.

Denver now has to make a decision on linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles), who has to be activated from the PUP list by Wednesday. If he’s not activated, Sanders will also be shut down for the rest of the season.

Meanwhile, Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) has one more week to return from injured reserve, and running back Tyler Badie (back) is yet to return to practice.

Here’s a look at the team’s IR/PUP players going into Week 13.

Broncos eligible to return from IR/PUP

LB Drew Sanders: Deadline to return is Nov. 27
WR Josh Reynolds: Deadline to return is Dec. 4
RB Tyler Badie: Eligible to return to practice

The Broncos also have two players — linebacker Alex Singleton (ACL) and offensive lineman Quinn Bailey (ankle) — who are on season-ending IR.

Denver linebacker Kwon Alexander is also out of practice squad elevations, and he seems likely to end up on the 53-man roster at some point this season. The Broncos will have to make some tough decisions to make room for returning players in the coming weeks.

Third suspect arrested after Josh Reynolds shooting

A third person has been arrested in connection to the Josh Reynolds shooting.

A third suspect has been arrested in connection to the Josh Reynolds shooting from October, according to a report from The Denver Post‘s Shelly Bradbury.

Dirk Lisica-Lange, 31, was arrested last week “on suspicion of attempting to influence a public servant, a low-level felony,” according to Bradbury.

Last month, Luis Mendoza, 35, and Burr Charlesworth, 42, were arrested and their charges included six counts of attempted first-degree murder.

Reynolds and two companions were shot after leaving a club in the Denver area on Oct. 18. They were followed by suspects who fired “at least 30 rounds” into the vehicle carrying Reynolds and two others.

It was a “coordinated, organized” attack, the Denver District Attorney’s Office said in court this week, according to Bradbury.

Reynolds, 29, is a wide receiver for the Denver Broncos. He was already on injured reserve with a finger injury when the shooting happened, and the team described his wounds as minor. The receiver is eligible to return from IR and could be back on the 53-man roster later this week.

This afternoon is the deadline for Turner-Yell to be activated to the 53-man roster. If he is not activated, DTY will spend the rest of the season on reserve. Sanders has one more week remaining on his 21-day window to return.

Here’s a look at the team’s IR/PUP players going into Week 12.

LB Drew Sanders: Eligible to return since Week 5
DB Delarrin Turner-Yell: Eligible to return since Week 5

Broncos release Friday injury report: Starting safety questionable for Sunday

Broncos safety Brandon Jones (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Falcons.

Denver Broncos safety Brandon Jones (abdomen) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons after being limited in all three days of practice this week.

Broncos coach Sean Payton said “hopefully he’s ready” when asked about Jones after Friday’s practice.

Elsewhere on the injury front, wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger), safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) and linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) all fully participated in practice this week but they have been ruled out for Sunday.

Reynolds is eligible to return from injured reserve and Turner-Yell and Sanders are eligible to return from the physically unable to perform list. The Broncos will need to open up roster spots when those three players are activated, but it won’t happen this week.

Meanwhile, the Falcons have a long injury report with eight players ruled out this week.

The Broncos’ complete Friday injury report can be seen below.

Player	Wed	Thur	Fri	Game Status
DB P.J. Locke (thumb)	Full	Full	Full
WR Josh Reynolds (hand)	Full	Full	Full	Out
LB Drew Sanders (Achilles)	Full	Full	Full	Out
DB Delarrin Turner-Yell (knee)	Full	Full	Full	Out
DE Zach Allen (elbow/NIR – rest)	Limited	Full	Full
DB Brandon Jones (abdomen)	Limited	Limited	Limited	Questionable

Sunday’s game will be regionally televised on Fox (view the TV map). Playing at home, the Broncos are considered slight favorites in Week 11.

Broncos release Thursday injury report: Good news for returning WR

Broncos WR Josh Reynolds (finger) fully participated in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. He has a 21-day window to return from IR.

The Denver Broncos are in pretty good health going into Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger), safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) and linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) are all fully practicing and eligible to return to the 53-man roster.

Turner-Yell has one more week on his return window, Sanders has two more weeks and Reynolds has three weeks. Once a player who is on injured reserve or the physically unable to perform list returns to practice, they have 21 days to be activated to the 53-man roster (or they remain on reserve for the season).

“Yeah so his clock — they all have a clock,” Broncos coach Sean Payton said of Reynolds on Wednesday. “We began his today and it’s just getting back into the football mindset. It’s good having him back on the field.”

Reynolds probably won’t be activated this week, but it’s good to see him back on the field. Expect the receiver to be activated within the three-week window.

The Broncos’ complete Thursday injury report can be seen below.

Player	Wed	Thur	Fri	Game Status
DB P.J. Locke (thumb)	Full	Full
