Against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Broncos were in desperation mode, and the wide receiver delivered.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds during the second half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Sept. 15, 2024, in Denver.
Williams took the snap and handed the ball off to Courtland Sutton on a fly sweep before the veteran wideout pitched it back to Nix. With Reynolds streaking past the Pittsburgh secondary, Nix let loose with a high-arcing throw downfield, where the receiver leaped over two defenders to make a 49-yard catch down to the Steelers 7-yard line.
“ pleased with what he’s doing,” Nix said of Reynolds. “He played really well down the stretch . He some catches and zones in the defense and got us some key conversions.” The Week 2 yardage total was also third-most in Reynolds’ career. The last time he recorded 90-plus yards in a game was in 2022.
Sutton, viewed as Denver’s top receiver, has gotten off to a rough start. He only has five catches for 64 yards despite having a team-high 16 targets. Rookie wide receiver Devaughn Vele, who missed the team’s matchup against Pittsburgh due to a rib injury, has more receptions in one game than Sutton in two.have played a part in receiving production. At the same time, Sutton and the rest of the receivers’ inability to create separation has been an issue.
“We’ve got to separate a little bit more and give our guys better opportunities when we’re getting a lot of match or man coverage,” Payton said. “We’re counting on the one-on-one matchups, and we need to get into some other schemes that I think can help that way.”Denver is signing outside linebacker Andrew Farmer II to its practice squad, a source told The Denver Post.
