The Jaguars claimed Reynolds off waivers Wednesday, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
Reynolds had a top-three role for Denver in September but then dropped down the depth chart after a Week 5 finger fracture send him to injured reserve. He's seemingly healthy again and now lands with one of the few teams that may be weak enough at wide receiver to give him an opportunity as a starter. The Jaguars lost Christian Kirk (shoulder) and Gabe Davis (knee) to season-ending injuries over the past month, leaving Parker Washington, Devin Duvernay and Tim Jones as the choices to start at WR alongside rookie standout Brian Thomas.

Josh Reynolds: Cut by Denver
Rotowire
The Broncos waived Reynolds (hand) on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
Reynolds hadn't played since Week 5 due to a fractured finger that required surgery, but he was a full participant in every practice since being designated for return from injured reserve Nov. 13. Though he's seemingly healthy again, Reynolds' 21-day evaluation window came to a close this week, and Denver didn't have an opening for him on the 53-man roster. The Broncos are seemingly comfortable with the strides that young receivers Devaughn Vele, Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims have made in recent weeks behind No. 1 option Courtland Sutton and were content to move on with Reynolds, who should be able to catch on elsewhere. Reynolds is in the first season of a two-year, $9 million contract, so he may clear waivers first before a team brings him aboard at a more palatable salary. The 29-year-old turned in a 12-183-1 receiving line on 19 targets over his five appearances with Denver before landing on IR.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Downgraded to out for MNF
Rotowire
Reynolds (hand) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the Browns, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Reynolds will not be activated from injured reserve in time for Monday night's contest. The Broncos had listed him as questionable on Saturday's final injury report. In Reynolds' absence, the Broncos will continue to roll with Courtland Sutton, Devaughn Vele, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims at wide receiver. Reynolds' next chance to play will be Week 15 against the Colts following Denver's Week 14 bye.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Trending in right direction
Rotowire
Reynolds (hand) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Browns after logging a third straight full participation in practice Saturday.
This was the third straight week Reynolds practiced in complete fashion. The veteran is nearing the end of his 21-day activation window, so it's possible the team will activate the veteran ahead of Monday's contest. The Broncos are relatively healthy at wide receiver, but Reynolds could see snaps over Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims should he be activated.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Not returning in Week 12
Rotowire
Reynolds (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Las Vegas.
For a second consecutive week, Reynolds was listed as a full participant on all three Broncos injury reports. However, he won't be activated from injured reserve just yet as he continues to ramp things up since fracturing a finger Week 5 against the Raiders. His next chance to suit up is Monday, Dec. 2 versus the Browns.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Won't be activated Week 11
Rotowire
Reynolds (hand) won't play Sunday against the Falcons, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Reynolds won't be activated from injured reserve for Denver's Week 11 home game against the Falcons, but he was a full participant in practice all week after having his 21-day window to return opened Wednesday. Given that context, it wouldn't be surprising to see the wide receiver return to action Week 12 against the Raiders, though Reynolds would first have to be added to the active roster with an official transaction before he can suit up for a game.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Returns to practice
Rotowire
Reynolds (hand) returned to practice Wednesday as a full participant, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
The Broncos placed Reynolds on injured reserve Oct. 12 due to a fractured finger. He then suffered minor injuries in a shooting a week later, but that doesn't seem to have affected his return timeline, with the Broncos having designated him for an IR return when first eligible. Denver now has a 21-day window in which Reynolds can practice with the team without being placed on the active roster. He may be activated before Sunday's game against the Falcons, in which case he would be a threat to take snaps away from Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: On mend after shooting
Rotowire
The Broncos announced Thursday that Reynolds (finger) was the victim of a shooting in Denver on Oct. 18 and received treatment for minor injuries, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Reynolds was fortunate to avoid any life-threatening injuries after he was shot once in his left arm and once in the back of his head shortly after 3 a.m. local time outside of a Denver club, according to Janet Oravetz of 9 News Denver. The wideout was placed on injured reserve Oct. 12 after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured finger, and he won't be eligible to return until at least Week 10. It's unclear if the injuries Reynolds sustained in the shooting will further delay his return to the field.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Dealing with fractured finger
Rotowire
Coach Sean Payton revealed Monday that Reynolds has a fractured finger, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.
Reynolds is on injured reserve until at least Nov. 10 after undergoing surgery on his finger, and Monday's comments clarify the nature of his injury. Rookie Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele have stepped up in complementary roles alongside Courtland Sutton in Reynolds' absence.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Shifts to IR
Rotowire
Reynolds (hand) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Reynolds underwent finger surgery earlier this week, and as a result won't be eligible to return until early November. The Broncos have a number of wide receivers that could step to replace Reynolds between Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele, but it remains to be seen which of the crew truly stands to operate as the No. 2 behind Courtland Sutton.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Set to miss at least one game
Rotowire
Reynolds (hand) won't play Sunday against the Chargers.
Per Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com, Reynolds could miss multiple weeks after undergoing finger surgery. With the wideout sidelined this weekend, at a minimum, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele are candidates to see added snaps behind Courtland Sutton for any length of time that Reynolds misses.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: May miss some time
Rotowire
Reynolds underwent a minor procedure on his finger that likely will result in him sitting out Sunday against the Chargers and potentially longer, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Reynolds hasn't practiced so far this week due to a hand injury, but the precise nature of the issue previously wasn't known. The Broncos have yet to post their final Week 6 practice report, but based on Wilson's report, there's a decent chance Reynolds is ruled out for Sunday's game. If that comes to pass, Courtland Sutton will be the team's clear-cut No. 1 WR, with Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele poised for bigger roles.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Nursing hand injury
Rotowire
Reynolds didn't practice Wednesday due to a hand injury, Susanna Weir of the Broncos' official site reports.
Reynolds caught his first touchdown of the season during the Broncos' 34-18 win over the Raiders this past Sunday. The 29-year-old wide receiver may have injured his hand at some point during the contest, however, so he'll likely need to practice in some fashion Thursday or Friday to assuage concerns about his health heading into Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Blanked in rainy game
Rotowire
Reynolds did not catch either of his two targets against the Jets on Sunday.
On a rainy day where rookie Bo Nix could somewhat understandably only throw for 60 yards against a tough Jets defense, there simply wasn't any room in the budget for Reynolds to see much usage Sunday. Although the Broncos passing game doesn't figure to be prolific at any point in 2024, Reynolds should be in position to bounce back a bit against Las Vegas in Week 5.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Practices in full Thursday
Rotowire
Reynolds (Achilles) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Reynolds was limited in practice Wednesday due to a lingering Achilles injury, which hasn't prevented him from suiting up for any of the Broncos' three regular-season games thus far. The veteran wideout currently leads the team with 174 receiving yards and looks fully on track to handle his usual role on offense during Sunday's road matchup against the Jets.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Moves past Achilles issue
Rotowire
Reynolds (Achilles) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
For the third week in a row, Reynolds appears on Denver's injury report with a listed Achilles issue, but he has yet to miss a game and is once again on track to play Sunday in Tampa after getting a full practice under his belt. Through his first two games with Denver, Reynolds has produced a 9-138-0 receiving line on 13 targets. His reception and receiving yardage totals are tops among Denver pass catchers, while his target count trails only Courtland Sutton (16).

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Ready to face Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Reynolds (Achilles) practiced in full Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.
Reynolds missed practice Wednesday and was limited Thursday, but it's possible the Broncos were simply managing his reps due to lingering Achilles discomfort. The veteran wideout could be in line for expanded opportunities Sunday with rookie Devaughn Vele (ribs), who drew eight targets Week 1, ruled out for Sunday's matchup.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Logs limited practice
Rotowire
Reynolds (Achilles) was limited at practice Thursday.
Reynolds didn't practice Wednesday, so his return to a limited session a day later has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers. Meanwhile, fellow WR Devaughn Vele (ribs) has missed back-to-back practices, and if one or both players are limited or sidelined this weekend, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and perhaps Lil'Jordan Humphrey could see added work behind Courtland Sutton in Week 2.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Returns to practice
Rotowire
Reynolds (Achilles) resumed practicing Thursday, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports.
Reynolds couldn't practice Wednesday due to an Achilles injury that he dealt with Week 1. The veteran wideout managed to practice in full despite the Achilles issue leading up to Week 1, so his return to practice Thursday bodes well for the wideout's chances of being cleared to play Sunday versus Pittsburgh. During Denver's season-opening loss to the Seahawks, Reynolds secured five of eight targets for 45 yards.

Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Achilles issue resurfaces
Rotowire
Reynolds (Achilles) didn't practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Reynolds was nursing an Achilles injury heading into Week 1, but he put forth three consecutive full practices before leading the Broncos with 45 receiving yards in a 26-20 loss to Seattle. Fellow wide receiver Devaughn Vele (ribs) was also absent from Wednesday's session, leaving Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin as the only three healthy wide receivers on the roster. Reynolds and Vele both have two opportunities left to resume practicing as the Broncos prepare to host the Steelers on Sunday.
