Marvin Mims Latest Injury Update
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr., the team's explosive return specialist and emerging deep threat, has been sidelined by a concussion sustained during last week's game against the Saints. The injury occurred on a 26-yard punt return in the second quarter, where Mims took a hard hit while trying to secure the ball, leading to immediate evaluation and his removal from the field. He didn't return and has been in the NFL's concussion protocol ever since.
This marks Mims' second straight game missed, as he also sat out the prior matchup. Throughout the short week leading up to tonight's Thursday Night Football showdown against the Las Vegas Raiders at Empower Field, Mims showed gradual progress but couldn't clear the necessary hurdles. He logged limited practices on both Tuesday and Wednesday, participating in walkthroughs and light drills, but never advanced to a full session. PlayerProfiler NOW+, posting on X via @Profiler_Now, reported that Marvin Mims is out for Thursday Night.
Head coach Sean Payton noted Mims was "day-to-day" early in the week, but the tight timeline combined with the protocol's strict return-to-play benchmarks proved too much to overcome. As a result, the Broncos officially ruled Mims out earlier today, listing him among the inactives alongside cornerback Pat Surtain II (knee) and others.
Luca Evans, posting on X via @bylucaevans, reported that #Broncos WR Marvin Mims Jr. is OUT for a second straight game due to a concussion, and won't play against the Raiders.
His absence is a blow to Denver's return game and vertical passing attack; Mims leads the team with 15.2 yards per punt return and has been a key gadget player in Payton's offense, hauling in 22 catches for 377 yards and three scores this season.
