Broncos receiver Josh Reynolds is recovering from two gunshot wounds after a visit to the strip club

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds is recovering from two gunshot wounds after he and another man were shot after visiting 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 leave further comment on this matter to the authorities.”

Denver police said they arrested two men – Luis Mendoza, 35, and Burr Charlesworth, 42 – in connection with the shootings that occurred around 3 a.m. on Oct. 18 on a stretch of Interstate 25 south of downtown.

The men were held on charges of attempted murder and assault. Police said they are trying to identify possible additional suspects and “therefore the arrest reports are being sealed to protect the integrity of the investigation.”

NBC affiliate KUSA-TV in Denver, the Broncos' flagship station, which first reported the shooting, said Reynolds was shot once in his left arm and once in the back of his head. The station said Reynolds and the other man were followed after leaving a strip club called Shotgun Willies.

Reynolds is injured due to a broken finger and did not travel with the Broncos to New Orleans for their game on Thursday night, October 17th. The shooting occurred a few hours after the Broncos beat the Saints.

Reynolds worked out on a side field during the Broncos' practice this week. Players on IR are not available to speak with reporters.

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

He spent the last three seasons with Detroit. He has 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.
