Broncos release Thursday injury report: WR still sidelined

The Denver Broncos opened the windows for center Luke Wattenberg (ankle) and linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) to return from injury lists this week. Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) is also eligible to return, but the team has not yet opened his 21-day window.

Reynolds remains on injured reserve and the team has not designated him to return. Once he eventually returns to practice, Reynolds will have a three-week window to be activated to the 53-man roster.

Reynolds was shot twice after leaving a club on Oct. 18. The team described his wounds as minor, so that does not seem to be impacting his IR status.

Denver has a backlog of players returning to the active roster soon, and the Broncos probably aren’t rushing Reynolds.

Elsewhere on the injury front, safety P.J. Locke (thumb) fully participated again on Thursday, seemingly putting him on track to play against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

View the Broncos’ complete Thursday injury report below.

Player Wed Thur Fri Game Status
DL D.J. Jones (knee) Full Full
DB P.J. Locke (thumb) Full Full
DB Delarrin Turner-Yell (knee) Full Full
DE Zach Allen (NIR – rest) Limited Full
OT Mike McGlinchey (knee) Limited Full
LB Drew Sanders (Achilles) Limited Limited
C Luke Wattenberg (ankle) Limited Full

The Broncos will practice again on Friday before releasing a final injury report with game statuses for Sunday’s matchup in Kansas City.
