Mims rushed the ball 13 times for 40 yards in Friday's 23-13 preseason win over the Vikings.
Mims was the third back in Friday's contest, after both Julius Chestnut and Kalel Mullings. Mims rotated with Jermar Jefferson but easily led the team with 13 carries. He was far less efficient than Jefferson, which could hurt his chances of cracking the roster to begin the regular season.

Titans' Jordan Mims: Signs with Tennessee
Rotowire
Mims signed a contract with the Titans on Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Mims -- whose contract with the Titans is for two years, per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, has played in 13 regular-season games for the Saints since going undrafted in 2023, recording 32 touches for 141 yards across 108 snaps on offense. The Titans have Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears locked into the top two spots on their depth chart, leaving Mims to compete with Julius Chestnut, Kalel Mullings and Tyrion Davis-Price for one or two jobs.

Jordan Mims: Waived by New Orleans
Rotowire
Mims was waived by the Saints on Monday.
The running back suited up for 11 games for the Saints in 2024, recording 20 carries for 70 yards and 12 catches for 71 yards. With Alvin Kamara still leading the Saints backfield and 2023 third-round pick Kendre Miller, 2025 sixth-round pick Devin Neal and veteran Clyde Edwards-Helaire filling in the spots behind him for the moment, there wasn't much room for Mims to reprise his occasional third-string role from last season.

Saints' Jordan Mims: Logs five touches Week 18
Rotowire
Mims notched two carries for 12 yards and reeled in all three targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 27-19 loss against Tampa Bay.
Mims suited up for his 11th game this season after being ruled a healthy scratch ahead of last week's loss to the Raiders. The second-year running back served as RB3 behind veterans Jamaal Williams and Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who both logged eight carries while Alvin Kamara (groin) and Kendre Miller (concussion) were inactive. Mims never had much of a role other than seeing some sparse third-string reps throughout the year, totaling 20 carries for 70 yards and 12 catches (on 18 targets) for 71 yards. He also spent a few days on the Saints' practice squad in late October and early November. Should New Orleans re-sign him this offseason, Mims will likely compete for a spot on the fringe of the active roster heading into the 2025 campaign.

Saints' Jordan Mims: Healthy scratch for Week 17
Rotowire
Mims (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Mims logged a season-high 23 offensive snaps against the Packers last Monday with Alvin Kamara (groin) out of action and produced 32 total yards on four carries and five catches. Kamara is sidelined again this week, but the recently signed Clyde Edwards-Helaire was elevated to the active roster Saturday to serve as one of the Saints' three healthy running backs. As such, Mims will be the odd man out versus Las Vegas.

Saints' Jordan Mims: Sees minimal usage in lopsided loss
Rotowire
Mims accrued four rushes for 16 yards and caught five of eight targets for 16 yards during Monday's 34-0 defeat to the Packers.
The undrafted rookie served as RB2 behind second-year running back Jordan Mims while Alvin Kamara (groin) was inactive. Mims logged season highs in targets and catches, as rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler faced consistent pressure throughout the night and was forced to check down over and over again. The running back still averaged just 3.6 yards per touch, which is on par with his production from the nine previous games that he suited up for this year. With two more games left in the regular season and the Saints already eliminated from the playoffs, Mims could continue to serve as RB2 if Kamara ends up being shut down for the remainder of the year.

Saints' Jordan Mims: Inactive for Week 14
Rotowire
Mims (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Mims will not suit up Sunday due to Kendre Miller (hamstring) returning from injured reserve. Miller will serve as the Saints' No. 3 running back behind Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams. Mims' next opportunity to play will be Week 15 against the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Saints' Jordan Mims: Inactive Sunday
Rotowire
Mims (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.
The running back bumps down to third on the depth chart behind Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams, with the latter returning from a groin injury for his first game since Week 8. Mims only saw 29 combined offensive snaps in the three games that Williams missed.

Saints' Jordan Mims: Logs two carries Week 11
Rotowire
Mims totaled two carries for three yards during Sunday's 35-14 victory over Cleveland.
The undrafted rookie was once again a non-factor in the rushing game, as Alvin Kamara led the way with 16 carries while do-it-all tight end Taysom Hill exploded for 138 rushing yards and three touchdowns on seven carries. Mims has now logged five or fewer carries in each oo his last three appearances, and his usage hasn't increased despite the continued absence of No. 2 running back Jamaal Williams (groin). The Saints will have a bye Week 12 before returning to play the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 1, which could give time for Williams to get healthy before reprising his own minimal role behind Kamara and Hill.

Saints' Jordan Mims: Plays third fiddle again Week 10
Rotowire
Mims recorded two carries for 10 yards and gathered in one of two targets for four yards during Sunday's 20-17 win against the Falcons.
Mims was once again the Saints' RB2 with Jamaal Williams (groin) sidelined for the second week in a row. The second-year running back still ran behind both starting running back Alvin Kamara and tight end Taysom Hill, as the two logged 17 and four carries, respectively. Mims has now totaled seven carries and three targets while filling in for Williams over the past two weeks. He'll likely have a minimal role if he once again fills in at RB2 during next week's game against Cleveland on Sunday, Nov. 17.

Saints' Jordan Mims: Tallies five carries Week 9
Rotowire
Mims tallied five rushes for 13 yards and hauled in his only target for 25 yards during Sunday's 23-22 defeat against the Panthers.
Mims stepped up to serve as the Saints' RB2 with veteran Jamaal Williams (groined) sidelined Week 9. The second-year back still had to contend for carries behind starter Alvin Kamara, as do-it-all tight end Taysom Hill also tallied five rushing attempts for 19 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, Kamara handled a full workload with 29 carries and six receptions out of the backfield. With Kendre Miller (hamstring) on IR, Mims could continue to serve as RB2 if Williams remains sidelined for Sunday's game versus Atlanta, though his workload will likely be limited once again.

Saints' Jordan Mims: Signed to active roster
Rotowire
The Saints signed Mims off the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Mims was waived off the active roster by the Saints on Oct. 26, but he opted to stay in New Orleans on the practice squad. He should see some meaningful snaps Sunday against the Panthers as Alvin Kamara's backup due to Jamaal Williams (groin) and Kendre Miller (hamstring) both being sidelined. Across six regular-season outings, Mims has logged five carries for 16 yards and two catches (on four targets) for 13 yards.

Saints' Jordan Mims: Sees late playing time in blowout
Rotowire
Mims accrued four carries for 11 yards during Sunday's 47-10 victory versus the Panthers.
Mims logged his first career carry after the score had already reached 47-10 late in the fourth quarter. The second-year running back out of Fresno State only lined up on five offensive snaps, so it's clear that he only saw playing time due to the blowout nature of this game. Before the game got out of hand, Alvin Kamara and Taysom Hill handled the team's top rushing duties, and veteran Jamaal Williams took over early in the second half and finished with 11 carries for 38 yards and a touchdown. Mims should continue to fulfill a fringe RB3 role while 2023 third-round pick Kendre Miller (hamstring) remains on IR for at least the next three games.

Saints' Jordan Mims: Sticking with New Orleans
Rotowire
Mims signed a reserve/future contract with the Saints on Monday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Mims spent the 2023 campaign on and off of the Saints' practice squad, failing to record any stats while garnering two targets over three offensive snaps in two games with the active roster. The running back will stick around New Orleans for the offseason and will have a chance to earn a spot on the 53-man roster ahead of the 2024 season.

Jordan Mims: Does not make cut
Rotowire
Mims was waived by the Bills on Monday, Alec White of the team's official website reports.
Mims was competing for the No. 3 running back role with Latavius Murray behind James Cook and Damien Harris. He ultimately came up short, but the undrafted free agent will be a likely candidate to be offered a practice squad role with the team.

Bills' Jordan Mims: Out Saturday
Rotowire
Mims is in concussion protocol and will not play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Bears, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
Mims left Wednesday's practice after a hit to the mouth that apparently led to a concussion. He is likely on the outside looking in when it comes to making it through final cuts, but that decision has not officially been made yet. Still, he will need to clear the league's concussion protocol before returning to contact drills in practice.

Bills' Jordan Mims: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Mims didn't practice Wednesday after getting hit in the mouth during Tuesday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Mims' absence is unlikely to last much longer, as the rookie undrafted free agent out of Fresno State will look to get back in action for Buffalo's preseason finale against the Bears on Saturday. He's unlikely to make the Bills' 53-man roster, and this absence won't help Mims' chances.
