REPORT: Denver Broncos Release Big-Named WR In Surprise Move Following ‘MNF’ Win Over Cleveland Browns

 

 

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 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.
