Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Dealing with fractured finger
Rotowire
Coach Sean Payton revealed Monday that Reynolds has a fractured finger, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.
Reynolds is on injured reserve until at least Nov. 10 after undergoing surgery on his finger, and Monday's comments clarify the nature of his injury. Rookie Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele have stepped up in complementary roles alongside Courtland Sutton in Reynolds' absence.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Shifts to IR
Rotowire
Reynolds (hand) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Reynolds underwent finger surgery earlier this week, and as a result won't be eligible to return until early November. The Broncos have a number of wide receivers that could step to replace Reynolds between Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele, but it remains to be seen which of the crew truly stands to operate as the No. 2 behind Courtland Sutton.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Set to miss at least one game
Rotowire
Reynolds (hand) won't play Sunday against the Chargers.
Per Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com, Reynolds could miss multiple weeks after undergoing finger surgery. With the wideout sidelined this weekend, at a minimum, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele are candidates to see added snaps behind Courtland Sutton for any length of time that Reynolds misses.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: May miss some time
Rotowire
Reynolds underwent a minor procedure on his finger that likely will result in him sitting out Sunday against the Chargers and potentially longer, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Reynolds hasn't practiced so far this week due to a hand injury, but the precise nature of the issue previously wasn't known. The Broncos have yet to post their final Week 6 practice report, but based on Wilson's report, there's a decent chance Reynolds is ruled out for Sunday's game. If that comes to pass, Courtland Sutton will be the team's clear-cut No. 1 WR, with Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele poised for bigger roles.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Misses another practice
Rotowire
Reynolds (hand) didn't practice Thursday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Reynolds also missed Wednesday's session, which clouds his status for Sunday's game against the Chargers. If Reynolds is limited or out this weekend, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele would be in the mix for Week 6 snaps behind top WR Courtland Sutton.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Nursing hand injury
Rotowire
Reynolds didn't practice Wednesday due to a hand injury, Susanna Weir of the Broncos' official site reports.
Reynolds caught his first touchdown of the season during the Broncos' 34-18 win over the Raiders this past Sunday. The 29-year-old wide receiver may have injured his hand at some point during the contest, however, so he'll likely need to practice in some fashion Thursday or Friday to assuage concerns about his health heading into Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Hits pay dirt in win
Rotowire
Reynolds caught one of two targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-18 win over the Raiders.
Reynolds touchdown Sunday was his first score of the 2024 campaign, coming on a day when the Broncos passing attack found its groove. With that said, the veteran wideout was not involved heavily in the offense against the Raiders, playing on 48 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps while seeing targets on just two of quarterback Bo Nix's 27 pass attempts. Through five games, Reynolds has totaled 12 receptions for 183 yards on 19 targets. The 29-year-old will look to build off Sunday's performance when the Broncos host the Chargers in Week 6.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Blanked in rainy game
Rotowire
Reynolds did not catch either of his two targets against the Jets on Sunday.
On a rainy day where rookie Bo Nix could somewhat understandably only throw for 60 yards against a tough Jets defense, there simply wasn't any room in the budget for Reynolds to see much usage Sunday. Although the Broncos passing game doesn't figure to be prolific at any point in 2024, Reynolds should be in position to bounce back a bit against Las Vegas in Week 5.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Practices in full Thursday
Rotowire
Reynolds (Achilles) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Reynolds was limited in practice Wednesday due to a lingering Achilles injury, which hasn't prevented him from suiting up for any of the Broncos' three regular-season games thus far. The veteran wideout currently leads the team with 174 receiving yards and looks fully on track to handle his usual role on offense during Sunday's road matchup against the Jets.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Moves past Achilles issue
Rotowire
Reynolds (Achilles) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
For the third week in a row, Reynolds appears on Denver's injury report with a listed Achilles issue, but he has yet to miss a game and is once again on track to play Sunday in Tampa after getting a full practice under his belt. Through his first two games with Denver, Reynolds has produced a 9-138-0 receiving line on 13 targets. His reception and receiving yardage totals are tops among Denver pass catchers, while his target count trails only Courtland Sutton (16).

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Logs limited practice
Rotowire
Reynolds (Achilles) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday. Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Reynolds was on the field for 41 of 61 snaps on offense in the Broncos' Week 2 loss to Pittsburgh, finishing with four receptions for 93 yards on five targets. The wideout continues to manage an Achilles injury that affected his practice participation last week, but with no reported setbacks on that front, his limitations Wednesday could well have been maintenance-related.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Ready to face Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Reynolds (Achilles) practiced in full Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.
Reynolds missed practice Wednesday and was limited Thursday, but it's possible the Broncos were simply managing his reps due to lingering Achilles discomfort. The veteran wideout could be in line for expanded opportunities Sunday with rookie Devaughn Vele (ribs), who drew eight targets Week 1, ruled out for Sunday's matchup.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Logs limited practice
Rotowire
Reynolds (Achilles) was limited at practice Thursday.
Reynolds didn't practice Wednesday, so his return to a limited session a day later has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers. Meanwhile, fellow WR Devaughn Vele (ribs) has missed back-to-back practices, and if one or both players are limited or sidelined this weekend, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and perhaps Lil'Jordan Humphrey could see added work behind Courtland Sutton in Week 2.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Returns to practice
Rotowire
Reynolds (Achilles) resumed practicing Thursday, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports.
Reynolds couldn't practice Wednesday due to an Achilles injury that he dealt with Week 1. The veteran wideout managed to practice in full despite the Achilles issue leading up to Week 1, so his return to practice Thursday bodes well for the wideout's chances of being cleared to play Sunday versus Pittsburgh. During Denver's season-opening loss to the Seahawks, Reynolds secured five of eight targets for 45 yards.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Achilles issue resurfaces
Rotowire
Reynolds (Achilles) didn't practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Reynolds was nursing an Achilles injury heading into Week 1, but he put forth three consecutive full practices before leading the Broncos with 45 receiving yards in a 26-20 loss to Seattle. Fellow wide receiver Devaughn Vele (ribs) was also absent from Wednesday's session, leaving Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin as the only three healthy wide receivers on the roster. Reynolds and Vele both have two opportunities left to resume practicing as the Broncos prepare to host the Steelers on Sunday.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Leads team in yardage
Rotowire
Reynolds corralled five of eight targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to Seattle.
Reynolds finished with the most receiving yards of any Denver wideout but trailed Courtland Sutton in targets (12). The veteran wideout battled an Achilles injury this preseason but did not appear limited in Sunday's contest. Denver's passing game didn't look strong to kick off the Bo Nix era, but Reynolds will look to garner healthy targets as the No. 2 option heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Steelers.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Positioned for Week 1 start
Rotowire
Reynolds (Achilles) is one the candidates to take on a larger role after Denver released Tim Patrick on Tuesday, DNVR Broncos reports.
Reynolds got a lot of first-team snaps this summer and is perhaps the most obvious direct replacement/competition for Patrick, as they're both tall, veteran WRs that primarily work the perimeter and don't tend to be targeted at a high rate. From a fantasy standpoint, young players like Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin are probably more interesting, but that doesn't mean they'll get more playing time than Reynolds to start the season. Coach Sean Payton suggested last week that Reynolds' Achilles injury wouldn't be an issue for the start of the regular season.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Minor injury concern
Rotowire
Coach Sean Payton indicated that Reynolds has some "wear and tear" with an Achilles, but noted that the wideout felt better Friday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Payton added that Reynolds, who worked on a side field Friday, should be fine, but we suspect that the team will err on the side of caution and hold the 29-year-old out of Sunday's preseason finale against the Cardinals. As Week 1 approaches, Reynolds is looking to cement a key role in a Denver WR corps that's led by Courtland Sutton and also includes Tim Patrick, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Joining Denver's WR corps
Rotowire
Reynolds agreed Wednesday with the Broncos on a two-year contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Per Garafolo, Reynolds' deal with Denver is worth a maximum of $14 million. The wideout, who turned 29 years old last month, is coming off a 2023 campaign in which he caught 40 of his 64 targets for 608 yards and five touchdowns in 17 regular-season contests for Detroit. With the Broncos, Reynolds will help fill the void created by the recent trade of Jerry Jeudy to the Browns. Reynolds will have a chance to compete with Tim Patrick (Achilles) and Marvin Mims for targets behind No. 1 wideout Courtland Sutton.

Josh Reynolds: Scheduled for Baltimore visit
Rotowire
Reynolds will visit the Ravens on Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
The Ravens met with Michael Gallup earlier in the week and are still looking for veteran, complementary pass catchers for an offense that will be led by QB Lamar Jackson, RB Derrick Henry, WR Zay Flowers and TE Mark Andrews. It might not be the best place for a wide receiver to have fantasy value, but Baltimore does offer a good opportunity for playing time and a playoff run. Reynolds had at least 326 receiving yards (but no more than 618 in each of the past six seasons), starting 52 of 91 regular-season games in that span while playing for three different teams. He turned 29 in February, shortly after catching eight of 14 targets for 132 yards and a TD in three playoff games for Detroit.
