San Antonio native and Broncos player Josh Reynolds is recovering from two gunshot wounds he suffered following a visit to a strip club

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds is recovering from two gunshot wounds he suffered after he and another man were shot at following a visit to a strip club last week.

“Josh Reynolds was the victim of a shooting in Denver on Friday and was treated for minor injuries,” the Broncos said in a statement to The Associated 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 people – Luis Mendoza, 35, and Burr Charlesworth, 42 – in connection with the shootings that occurred around 3 a.m. on Oct. 18 on 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 possible additional suspects and “therefore, arrest reports have been sealed to preserve the integrity of the investigation.”

Reynolds was born in San Antonio and graduated from John Jay High School in 2013.

NBC affiliate KUSA-TV The Broncos’ flagship station in Denver, which first reported the attack, 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 the Thursday night game on Oct. 17. The shooting took place just hours after the Broncos beat the Saints.

Reynolds was training on the sideline during the Broncos’ practices this week. Players on IR cannot talk to reporters.

Reynolds is in his ninth NFL season and his first in Denver after signing a two-year, $9 million contract last summer. He played in five games with one start and caught 12 passes for 183 yards and a touchdown.

He spent the last three seasons in Detroit. He also played for the Titans and the Rams, who selected him in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL draft out of Texas A&M.
