Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds was wounded in a shooting outside a strip club this past Friday.
The Broncos released a statement confirming that Reynolds was the victim of a shooting, and that he is recovering from minor injuries.
“Josh Reynolds was a victim of a shooting on Friday in Denver and received treatment for minor injuries,” the statement read, via DNVR Sports. “Out of respect for the legal process, we will defer further comment on this matter to the authorities.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Reynolds’ representatives but didn’t immediately receive comment. The player was reportedly at the team facility on Thursday.
In court documents obtained by 9NEWS, Reynolds and another man were injured during the shooting, which occurred just after 3 a.m. on Oct. 18.
Someone had called 911 near Shotgun Willies, the strip club in Glendale, Colo., that the victims attended, where the caller mentioned he was driving a blue Ford Bronco and had been shot.
A second 911 caller explained that he was being followed by someone, and two of his friends had been shot, according to the court documents. Officers GPS-tracked three total 911 callers and found the victims of the shooting.

Reynolds was among them, and the court documents say he was shot twice – once in his left arm and once in the back of his head. The other shooting victim was shot in the back.
The shooting victims say they were at Shotgun Willies that night, but noted there were no issues at the club before leaving around 2:45 a.m.
However, when they left, the victims reported that two drivers began to follow them with their cars and shots were fired at them. The victims got on the highway, where they were followed by the drivers. The victims added that their vehicle was no longer able to drive, which led to them fleeing on foot.
Police found that vehicle on Interstate 25, where bullet defects on the back driver-side and front windshield were documented. There were also bullet casings found behind the vehicle.
Two men were arrested in connection with the shooting on Wednesday, 9NEWS reported.
One of the suspects, Luis Mendoza, was seen in video surveillance entering the strip club around midnight, according to the court documents. He appeared to be watching the victims, and would follow them out when they left.
There were also other vehicles that pulled into the parking pot, where the court documents say people inside of them were waiting for the victims to leave. The vehicle that Mendoza was in was directly behind the victims, the documents added.
Burr Charlesworth, the other suspect arrested, told investigators that he went to the strip club because he was “helping a friend” who asked to follow the victims due to a prior conflict. However, he said he never shot at the victims, alleging the gunfire came from other vehicles.
This incident came a day after the Broncos faced the New Orleans Saints on “Thursday Night Football.” Reynolds, though, did not travel with the team as he was placed on the injured reserve ahead of the team’s prior game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
