According to the team, Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds was the victim of a shooting last Friday in Denver.

“Josh Reynolds was the victim of a shooting in Denver on Friday and was treated for minor injuries. Out of respect for the legal process, we will leave further comment on this matter to the authorities,” the team said in a statement on Thursday.

Reynolds was leaving a strip club when he was shot, struck in the left arm and the back of the head, according to court documents obtained by CNN affiliate 9NEWS.

Denver police told CNN that two suspects were arrested following the incident.

“On October 18, 2024, at approximately 3:12 a.m., Denver Police officers responded to a report of a shooting that occurred along a portion of southbound Interstate 25 south of Colorado Boulevard,” Denver police said.

“The two adult male victims were traveling in a vehicle at the time of the shooting and eventually stopped on the shoulder of southbound Interstate 25 north of Belleview Avenue. Both victims were taken to the hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.”

Denver police said they are holding the two suspects — identified as Burr Charlesworth and Luis Mendoza — for investigation of attempted murder and first-degree assault.

Reynolds is on the injured reserve (IR) list with a finger injury and is ineligible to play this weekend. The Broncos play the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

The eighth-year pro was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft out of Texas A&M. He also spent time with the Detroit Lions and Tennessee Titans before signing with the Broncos this past offseason.

In five games this season, Reynolds has 183 yards receiving and scored one touchdown.
