After receiving a much-needed clean bill of health through most of the week, the Broncos suddenly may be down a key receiver for Monday night’s Week 4 contest against the Bengals.
Wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. was limited in Saturday’s practice with a hip injury and is questionable to play against Cincinnati, according to the team’s afternoon injury report. It’s an unexpected development, as Mims hadn’t been listed on the injury report through Friday.
Mims had his coming-out party last year against the Bengals, racking up eight catches for 103 yards and a pair of touchdowns in a Week 17 overtime loss. It was a potential turning point in the young wideout’s career, as head coach Sean Payton seemed to unlock his potential down the stretch in 2024 by running him out of the backfield on various plays.
After totaling six touchdowns in his final seven games last season, though, Mims has been quiet to start 2025, with six catches for 40 yards and a touchdown through three games.
“We have packages where we have tags where he’s in there, and so a lot of it, just — when you have 48 plays in a game, you don’t get to two-thirds of your offense,” Payton said Saturday when asked if Mims’ backfield usage was still in the back of his head. “So, yes.”
