The Denver Broncos opened the practice window for one of their offensive veterans this week, but he won't play in Week 11 versus the Atlanta Falcons.
Denver ruled out three players for Week 11 despite the fact that all three fully practiced the entire week. One of those players was veteran wide receiver Josh Reynolds.Reynolds' 21-day practice window Wednesday. With that move, Denver has three weeks to activate the receiver off injured reserve or he will remain on the IR for the remainder of the season.
Although Reynolds, who has been out since Week 5 because of a hand injury, was a full participant at Broncos practice Wednesday-Friday, he will not play Sunday versus the12 catches with 183 receiving yards and 1 touchdown this season. Last year, he had 40 receptions, 608 receiving yards and tied a career best with 5 touchdowns.Ironically, safety Brandon Jones, who was limited in practice all week, could still play versus the Falcons.
Safety P.J. Locke and defensive end Zach Allen were also on Denver's final injury report. But neither player had an injury designation, so they will be ready to go Sunday. The Falcons will visit the Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High in Week 11. Kickoff will occur at 4:05 pm ET.Dave is a staff writer at Falcon Report.
