Story update: The Jacksonville Jaguars claimed Josh Reynolds off waivers on Wednesday. See our original post below.
The Denver Broncos have waived wide receiver Josh Reynolds from injured reserve, according to the NFL’s transaction wire.
Reynolds had been on injured reserve since Week 5 and Wednesday was the deadline to activate him to the 53-man roster. Happy with the receivers on their roster, Denver opted to waive him instead.
Had he not been cut or activated before Dec. 4, Reynolds would have remained on IR for the rest of the 2024 season. By waiving him, the Broncos will give the receiver a chance to play again this season.
Reynolds (6-3, 192 pounds) was placed on IR after he underwent finger surgery last month. Less than a week after he went on IR, Reynolds was shot twice after leaving a nightclub in the Denver area on Oct. 18. Reynolds has since recovered from his wounds and three people have been arrested in connection to the shooting.
Reynolds, 29, hauled in 12 receptions for 183 yards and one touchdown in five games with the Broncos earlier this season before injuring his finger. Denver will now move forward with Courtland Sutton, Devaughn Vele, Lil’Jordan Humphrey, Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims at receiver.
