Broncos Waive Wide Receiver Josh Reynolds

The Denver Broncos have waived veteran wide receiver Josh Reynolds, who had been on injured reserve since suffering a hand injury and sustaining non-life-threatening injuries in a shooting incident in October. Reynolds, signed to a two-year, $9 million contract, played only five games this season, recording 12 receptions for 183 yards and one touchdown. With the emergence of younger receivers like Devaughn Vele and Marvin Mims, the Broncos decided against activating Reynolds by the deadline, opting instead to release him. If he clears waivers, Reynolds could potentially return to the Broncos' practice squad or become a free agent. Denver's head coach Sean Payton has praised the performance of rookie receivers, indicating a shift in strategy towards younger talent. Reynolds' departure reflects the Broncos' confidence in their current receiving corps as they approach playoff considerations.
