Broncos Wide Receiver Shot In Denver

Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds was shot in the arm and back of his head after he said he was followed leaving a strip club in the city on October 18.

On Thursday, ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported that 29-year-old Reynolds is “said to be OK after being the victim in a shooting Friday in Denver.”

According to documents obtained by 9News, Reynolds and two other men made several calls in the early morning hours into 911 saying that there had been a shooting.

The first call came in from the driver, who said he’d been shot. A second person called and said they were being followed and that two people he was with had been shot. A third call came in and said he was with people who had been shot. 

The documents noted that all three calls, via GPS tracking, came from the same basic location. When police arrived, they located the victims, with Reynolds being listed as shot twice, once in the back of his head and once in his arm, the report noted.

The other man had been shot in the back, and a third man was injured by shattered glass.

The documents show police spoke to three men about what happened before the shooting, and when asked if there had been any problem at the club earlier in the evening, all three said no.

The three described how after they left the club, they were followed by several vehicles before they were shot at. Their vehicle was later located with “numerous bullet defects in the back driver-side and front windshield,” the report noted. Two men have since been arrested in the case.

Reynolds — who was already on the injured reserve list for an injured finger — had remained in Denver and did not fly out with the rest of the team to New Orleans for the Broncos game against the Saints last Thursday. On October 12, he suffered an injury against the Las Vegas Raiders.

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

Reynolds was picked up in the fourth round of the NFL draft by the Los Angeles Rams in 2017. Two years later, he signed on with the Tennessee Titans before he joined the Detroit Lions. In March 2024, he joined the Broncos after signing a two-year, $9 million contract.

The wide receiver has 12 catches for 183 yards and one touchdown so far this season, the New York Post noted.
