Overview
- Reporters said Mims was stepped on by corner Riley Moss on Thursday but finished practice and did sideline-to-sideline sprints, an early sign the issue might not be serious.
- On Friday Mims pulled up after running a deep route and walked into the trainers' room with tight end Nate Adkins, forcing him to exit practice and making his condition a developing story.
- Coach Sean Payton confirmed that Jaylen Waddle will miss several more days of practice, leaving the Broncos short-handed in their newly reshaped wide receiver room.
- Mims enters the final year of his rookie contract with public indications the Broncos want to keep him and a Spotrac projection that his market could be about three years and $19.5 million.
- Because Mims is also a two-time Pro Bowler and a former First Team All‑Pro returner, his availability will influence both Denver's special-teams plans and the allocation of deep targets during the preseason.
