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.

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.

Broncos could get reinforcements from injured reserve this week

The Broncos have two players eligible to return from injured reserve and two players eligible to return from the PUP list.

Denver Broncos center Luke Wattenberg (ankle) returned from injured reserve last week and immediately returned to the team’s starting lineup. More reinforcements could be on the way this week.

Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) and running back Tyler Badie (back) are both eligible to return from IR, and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) and linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) are eligible to return from the physically unable to perform list.

Turner-Yell returned to practice two weeks ago and Sanders returned to practice last week. Once an IR or PUP player returns to practice, they have a 21-day window to be activated to the 53-man roster.

We’ll see if Denver activates anyone ahead of Week 11.

Broncos eligible to return from IR/PUP

  1. LB Drew Sanders: Eligible to return since Week 5
  2. DB Delarrin Turner-Yell: Eligible to return since Week 5
  3. RB Tyler Badie: Eligible to return since Week 9
  4. WR Josh Reynolds: Eligible to return since Week 10

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

Broncos on season-ending injured reserve

  1. LB Alex Singleton: Out for season
  2. OL Quinn Bailey: Out for season

Denver linebacker Kwon Alexander and fullback Michael Burton are also out of practice squad elevations, and they seem likely to end up back 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.

Broncos release Thursday injury report: WR still sidelined

Broncos OL Luke Wattenberg (IR) and LB Drew Sanders (PUP) have returned to practice, but WR Josh Reynolds (IR) remains sidelined.

The Denver Broncos opened the windows for center Luke Wattenberg (ankle) and linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) to return from injury lists this week. Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) is also eligible to return, but the team has not yet opened his 21-day window.

Reynolds remains on injured reserve and the team has not designated him to return. Once he eventually returns to practice, Reynolds will have a three-week window to be activated to the 53-man roster.

Reynolds was shot twice after leaving a club on Oct. 18. The team described his wounds as minor, so that does not seem to be impacting his IR status.

Denver has a backlog of players returning to the active roster soon, and the Broncos probably aren’t rushing Reynolds.

Elsewhere on the injury front, safety P.J. Locke (thumb) fully participated again on Thursday, seemingly putting him on track to play against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Predicting 14 roster moves Broncos could make in second half of season

The Broncos have seven players who could be returning to the 53-man roster soon. Here’s how they could make room for them.

The Denver Broncos could be getting a flurry of reinforcements in the coming weeks.

Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hand) and center Luke Wattenberg (ankle) are now eligible to return from injured reserve, safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) returned to practice last week and linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) is “close to returning.” His timeline is uncertain, but running back Tyler Badie (back) is also eligible to return from IR.

Meanwhile, linebacker Kwon Alexander is out of practice squad elevations and coach Sean Payton hinted last week that Alexander will eventually end up on the 53-man roster. Denver also bumped fullback Michael Burton down to the practice squad last week. Burton can be elevated one more time. After that, he will likely be a candidate to return to the active roster as well.

Reynolds, Alexander and Wattenberg are presumably candidates to all return to the 53-man roster this week. Sanders, Burton, Turner-Yell and Badie might also return at some point in the future.

The Broncos don’t have to make room for all of them right away — new injuries could open spots in the coming weeks — but the team will have to make some roster decisions, soon.

Denver opened up one spot by trading outside linebacker Baron Browning to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday. The Broncos could open another spot by bumping offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton down to the practice squad.

Denver could open three more spots if they traded tight end Greg Dulcich, cornerback Damarri Mathis and quarterback Zach Wilson ahead of Tuesday’s deadline. If they aren’t traded, Dulcich and Mathis might be candidates to attempt to get down to the practice squad. And given Payton’s recent frustrations with the team’s receivers, even Lil’Jordan Humphrey could be in danger of losing his spot on the active roster.

So with as many as seven players potentially returning to the active roster in the second half of the season, here are predictions on how the Broncos could make room for them. Keep in mind that these are projections — this is not a report of what the team will do. Rather, it’s a projection of what the team could do.

  1. WR Josh Reynolds activated from IR
  2. OLB Baron Browning traded (confirmed)
  3. C Luke Wattenberg activated from IR
  4. OL Calvin Throckmorton cut from 53
  5. LB Kwon Alexander promoted to 53
  6. TE Greg Dulcich traded or cut
  7. LB Drew Sanders activated from PUP
  8. CB Damarri Mathis traded or cut
  9. FB Michael Burton activated to 53
  10. QB Zach Wilson traded
  11. DB Delarrin Turner-Yell activated from IR
  12. WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey demoted to PS
  13. RB Tyler Badie activated from IR
  14. Future player placed on IR

Denver seems likely to make at least a few moves this week. Stay tuned.

2 men charged with attempted murder in Josh Reynolds case

Two men have been charged with attempted murder and other chargers after Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds was shot on Oct. 18. 

Two men have been charged with attempted murder and other chargers after Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds was shot on Oct. 18.

Luis Mendoza, 35, faces 23 charges, according to KUSA-TV’s Kevin Vaughan and Janet Oravetz: six counts of attempted first-degree murder; six counts of first-degree assault; three counts of illegal discharge of a firearm; three counts of drug possession; four counts of weapons possession by a previous offender; and one count of possession of a large capacity magazine.

Burr Charlesworth, 42, faces 15 charges: six counts of attempted first-degree murder; six counts of first-degree assault; and three counts of illegal discharge of a firearm.

Mendoza has a $300,000 cash-only bail and remains in the Denver County Jail. Charlesworth posted a $100,000 bail and was released.

Reynolds and two others left a Glendale strip club on Oct. 18 and were followed by multiple vehicles. Reynolds was then shot in his arm and the back of his head. One of the men with him was shot in the back and the other man was wounded by flying glass.

From the Vaughan and Oravetz story:

Following his arrest, Charlesworth told investigators he was “helping” a friend who had asked him to follow the victims due to a prior conflict. He denied he ever shot at the victims and said the gunfire came from the other vehicles. He refused to describe those vehicles, according to the court documents.

The Broncos said in a statement that Reynolds suffered minor injuries. Reynolds, 29, was back at practice last week and he was on the sideline for the team’s game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Reynolds is currently on injured reserve with a finger injury. He will be eligible to return from IR next week.

Josh Reynolds was back on Broncos’ sideline 9 days after being shot

Nine days after being shot twice, Josh Reynolds was back on the Broncos’ sideline for Sunday’s game against the Panthers.

Nine days after being shot twice, Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds was back on the team’s sideline for a 28-14 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

Reynolds, who is currently on injured reserve with a finger injury, was shot in his arm and the back of his head after leaving Shotgun Willie’s strip club in Glendale, Colorado on Oct. 18. Broncos coach Sean Payton said last week that Reynolds was “fortunate” to only suffer what the team described as minor injuries.

Two men have been arrested in connection to the shooting.

Reynolds was back at Denver’s first practice following the shooting on Oct. 23. He was on the sideline working with other injured players for the Broncos’ three practice sessions leading up to the Panthers game.

The 29-year-old receiver then appeared on the team’s sideline for Sunday’s game. After a very scary incident which left Reynolds shaken up, it was good to see the receiver back at Empower Field at Mile High on Oct. 27.

Reynolds will be eligible to return from IR in Week 10.

Sean Payton says Josh Reynolds was ‘pretty shaken up’ after shooting

“Josh Reynolds last week was involved in a very serious incident … He was pretty shaken up,” Broncos coach Sean Payton said.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds was shot in the arm in the back of the head after leaving a strip club in the Denver area last week. The receiver’s wounds were only minor, but the incident could have been deadly.

“Let me start with something that’s serious,” Payton said to begin his post-practice press conference on Friday. “I just finished visiting with the team about [it]: Josh Reynolds last week was involved in a very serious incident, shooting. I’m kind of like you where I’ve got the initial details, and he’s fortunate.

“Currently, the league and then obviously the local authorities are handling that. I’ve had a chance to talk with him. He was pretty shaken up and I’ll leave it at that.”

Payton later said the team has counseling and many resources to help support Reynolds after the shooting.

Two men have been arrested in connection to the shooting.

Reynolds was back in practice this week, working on a side field with other injured players (he’s currently on injured reserve with a finger injury).

Reynolds totaled 12 receptions for 183 yards and one touchdown in five games before being placed on IR two weeks ago.

Denver Police arrest two men connected to Josh Reynolds shooting

Denver Police arrested two men who are under investigation for attempted first-degree murder following the Josh Reynolds shooting.

Denver Police have arrested two men in connection to the Josh Reynolds shooting last week.

Police arrested Burr Charlesworth, 42, on Oct. 19 and Luis Mendoza, 35, on Oct. 22, less than a week after the Oct. 18 shooting. The two suspects “are being held for investigation of attempted first-degree murder and first-degree assault,” according to KDVR’s Heather Willard.

Further suspects may be identified later.

Reynolds and two other men were followed after they left a club early in the morning of Oct. 18. Two of them suffered non-life-threatening injuries when shot. Reynolds was shot in his arm and the back of his head, but the Denver Broncos said in a statement that his injuries were “minor.”

Reynolds, 29, was already back at practice this week working on a side field with other injured players. Reynolds is currently on injured reserve while recovering from a finger injury.

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

Reynolds hauled in 12 receptions for 183 yards and one touchdown in five games this season before being placed on IR.

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.
