Denver Broncos receiver Josh Reynolds was shot early Friday morning in Denver, the team said Thursday.

Police say Reynolds was one of two people shot during the incident.

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

According to published reports, police documents show Reynolds was shot once in the left arm and once in the back of the head.

Reynolds was reportedly treated at a Denver-area hospital and later released.

Reynolds, 29, is currently on injured reserve after undergoing surgery for a finger injury. The Broncos played a Thursday night game against the host New Orleans Saints hours before the shooting, but Reynolds did not make the trip.

According to the police report, Reynolds and two others were at a strip club called Shotgun Willie’s in the Denver suburb of Glendale, and the group left at 2:45 a.m. local time in two separate cars.

Reynolds and a man left in an SUV and told police several vehicles followed them before shots were fired. The other man was shot in the back. The person from the other vehicle suffered injuries from breaking glass.

On Wednesday, Denver police announced the arrests of Burr Charlesworth, 42, and Luis Mendoza, 35, in connection with the shooting. The two men are being held on charges of attempted first-degree murder and first-degree assault.

According to Reynolds’ group, there were no problems within the club. They told police the suspects followed them to a highway and that four vehicles were behind Reynolds’ SUV until it was disabled.

Reynolds missed the past two games due to a broken finger suffered against the Las Vegas Raiders on October 6. He has 12 catches for 183 yards and a touchdown this season.

Overall, Reynolds has 232 receptions for 3,116 yards and 20 touchdown catches in 112 games (54 starts) in eight seasons with the Los Angeles Rams (2017-20), Tennessee Titans (2021), Detroit Lions (2021-23) and Broncos .
