ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Faced with the deadline to bring wide receiver Josh Reynolds back on to the roster from injured reserve, the Denver Broncos waived the eighth-year veteran Tuesday.
The Broncos, who had designated Reynolds to return from injured reserve Nov. 13, had to either move Reynolds to the 53-player roster this week or keep him on injured reserve to retain him. With two rookies now regularly in the receiver rotation to go with Marvin Mims Jr. in his second year, the Broncos chose to waive Reynolds instead.
If they choose, they could bring Reynolds back to their practice squad if he clears waivers Wednesday and is not claimed by another team.
