The Broncos announced Thursday that Reynolds (finger) was the victim of a shooting in Denver on Oct. 18 and received treatment for minor injuries, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Reynolds was fortunate to avoid any life-threatening injuries after he was shot once in his left arm and once in the back of his head shortly after 3 a.m. local time outside of a Denver club, according to Janet Oravetz of 9 News Denver. The wideout was placed on injured reserve Oct. 12 after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured finger, and he won't be eligible to return until at least Week 10. It's unclear if the injuries Reynolds sustained in the shooting will further delay his return to the field.

On mend after shooting
The Broncos announced Thursday that Reynolds (finger) was the victim of a shooting in Denver on Oct. 18 and received treatment for minor injuries, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Reynolds was fortunate to avoid any life-threatening injuries after he was shot once in his left arm and once in the back of his head shortly after 3 a.m. local time outside of a Denver club, according to Janet Oravetz of 9 News Denver. The wideout was placed on injured reserve Oct. 12 after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured finger, and he won't be eligible to return until at least Week 10. It's unclear if the injuries Reynolds sustained in the shooting will further delay his return to the field.
Dealing with fractured finger
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.
Shifts to IR
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 up in replace of 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.
Set to miss at least one game
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.
May miss some time
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.
Misses another practice
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.
Nursing hand injury
Reynolds (hand) was listed as a DNP on the Broncos' injury report Wednesday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports. Reynolds caught his first touchdown of the regular season during the Broncos' 34-18 win over the Raiders this past Sunday. However, it appears the 29-year-old wide receiver may have injured his hand during the contest, which kept him sidelined during Wednesday's practice session. Reynolds will need to practice in some capacity over the next two days in order to avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's AFC West clash against the Chargers. Through the first five games of the regular season, Reynolds has registered 12 catches (on 19 targets) for 183 yards and one touchdown.
Hits pay dirt in win
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.
Blanked in rainy game
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.
