The Denver Broncos have released a big-named veteran wide receiver following their victory over the Cleveland Browns on ‘Monday Night Football.’
On Tuesday evening, the Denver Broncos announced on X/Twitter that they have waived wide receiver Josh Reynolds. The 29-year-old was placed on the injured reserve in October with a hand injury and later suffered non-life threatening injuries in a shooting incident.
The Broncos had to either waive Reynolds, move him back to the 53-man roster or keep him on the injured reserve. They opted for the former, ending his tenure with the organization at five games.
In his short-lived tenure with the Denver Broncos, Reynolds caught 12 passes for 183 yards and a touchdown. The veteran was coming off one of his best NFL seasons with the Detroit Lions, helping them to the NFC Championship Game after a 40-608-5 season.
The decision to waive Reynolds is a bit surprising given Denver’s lack of depth at wideout. Courtland Sutton leads the team with 63 receptions for 846 yards and five touchdowns, and Devaughn Vele is a distant second with a 33-377-1 stat line.
But Sean Payton and the Broncos ultimately decided that they didn’t need Reynolds moving forward. The 8-5 Broncos pushed themselves closer to a playoff spot with a thrilling 41-32 victory over the Browns on ‘Monday Night Football’, keeping them two games ahead of the Indianapolis Colts for the AFC’s last wild card spot.
Denver Broncos Have Been A Pleasant Surprise In 2024
Sean Payton and company received immense criticism for releasing Russell Wilson after a bounce-back season and taking on a whopping $85 million dead money charge. But the future Hall of Famer knew what he was doing the whole time, riding a top-three defense and the talents of Nix to a (likely) postseason berth.
Denver hasn’t had a winning season since 2016, and they last reached the postseason in 2015. Both streaks, at long last, are on the verge of ending.
