ENGLEWOOD, Colorado – Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds is recovering from two gunshot wounds after he and another man were shot following a visit to a strip club last week.
“Josh Reynolds was the victim of a shooting on Friday in Denver and was treated for minor injuries,” the Broncos said in a statement to The Related Press. “Out of respect for the legal process, we will defer further comment on this matter to the authorities.”
Denver police said they arrested two men, Luis Mendoza, 35, and Burr Charlesworth, 42, in connection with the shootings, which occurred around 3 a.m. Oct. 18 along a stretch of the Interstate 25 south of downtown.
The men were being held for investigation of attempted first-degree murder and first-degree assault. Police said they were trying to identify additional possible suspects and “therefore, the arrest reports are sealed to protect the integrity of the investigation.”
Denver's NBC affiliate KUSA-TV, the Broncos' flagship station, which first reported the shooting, said Reynolds was shot once in the left arm and once in the back of the head. The station said Reynolds and the other man were followed after leaving a strip club called Shotgun Willies.
Reynolds is on injured reserve with a broken finger and did not travel with the Broncos to New Orleans for their Thursday night game on Oct. 17. The shooting occurred a few hours after the Broncos beat the Saints.
Reynolds has been training on a side field during Broncos practices this week. Players on IR are not available to speak to reporters.
Reynolds is in his ninth NFL season and first in Denver after signing a two-year, $9 million contract last offseason. He has played in five games with one start and has caught 12 passes for 183 yards and one touchdown.
He spent the last three seasons with Detroit. He also played for the Titans and Rams, who selected him in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL draft out of Texas A&M.
