Mims (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Mims played just nine snaps on offense in a Week 1 loss at Kansas City, running six routes without seeing a target. His absence may leave a few more snaps for Troy Franklin, but the bigger impact for Denver will be on special teams, especially if RJ Harvey (questionable - hamstring) also ends up inactive. The team could look to the practice squad for a punt returner, while kick returns figure to be handled primarily by backup RBs Jonah Coleman and Tyler Badie.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Absent from practice again
Rotowire
Mims (foot) was a non-participant at the Broncos' practice Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.
Mims has now missed back-to-back practices to open the week while dealing with a foot injury. The wide receiver will have one more chance to practice Friday before the team hosts Jacksonville on Sunday. If Mims can't go against the Jaguars, it would carry the largest impact on special teams for Denver.

Rotowire
Mims (foot) did not practice Wednesday.
Mims was injured in Monday night's loss to the Chiefs but was able to return to the game, though he saw zero targets while playing just nine offensive snaps. The receiver's role seems to be mainly on special teams while everyone is healthy ahead of him on the depth chart.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Draws zero targets in season opener
Rotowire
Mims did not see any targets and returned two punts for 36 yards in Monday's Week 1 loss to Kansas City. He managed a hip injury but is expected to be fine for Week 2, per Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com.
Mims logged just nine snaps on offense. It's not clear if that was due to the hip issue that cropped up in the first quarter or because of the strong play of Pat Bryant, who led Broncos wide receivers with four catches on six targets for 42 yards. Mims' availability as a kick returner suggests the hip issue isn't serious, though he's definitely behind Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle in the pecking order at WR and may now be behind Bryant as well.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Practices fully to kick off Week 1 prep
Rotowire
Mims (foot) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Mims sustained a foot contusion in the Broncos' Aug. 28 preseason finale against the Vikings, but after having no limitations in the team's first official practice of the regular season, he'll be ready to go for the opener Monday in Kansas City. On the Broncos' unofficial depth chart, Mims is listed as a starting receiver along with Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton, though second-year wideout Pat Bryant drew plenty of positive buzz during training camp and the preseason and could push Mims for No. 3 duties.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Not practicing Monday
Rotowire
Mims (foot) was not spotted at the Broncos' practice Monday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Mims suffered a bruised foot in the team's preseason finale against the Vikings on Friday, and he doesn't appear to be ready to return to practice quite yet. The Broncos are two weeks away from their regular-season opener against the Chiefs on Monday, Sept. 14, and the wide receiver will have a few more chances to return to practice this week.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Dealing with foot contusion
Rotowire
Head coach Sean Payton told reporters that Mims bruised his foot during the Broncos' 34-6 preseason win over the Vikings on Friday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Mims sustained the injury early in the first quarter and was listed as questionable to return after going to the locker room, but he didn't end up taking another snap in Friday's exhibition contest. It doesn't appear to be a serious injury, but his practice participation over the coming weeks will determine whether he'll suit up for Denver's Week 1 clash against Kansas City on Monday, Sept. 14.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Doesn't play vs. Atlanta
Rotowire
Mims (undisclosed) did not play in the Broncos' 27-7 preseason win over the Falcons on Friday.
Mims is working through an undisclosed injury and joined fellow wideouts Jaylen Waddle (leg) and Michael Bandy on the sidelines for Friday's preseason opener. Once he's cleared to practice fully, Mims will resume competing against Pat Bryant and Troy Franklin for the WR3 role behind Waddle and Courtland Sutton. Even if he's relegated to WR4 or WR5, Mims should still see the field plenty as a returner on kickoffs and punts.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Absent from Saturday's practice
Rotowire
Mims (undisclosed) is not participating in Saturday's training camp practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Mims appeared to sustain the injury while running a go route during Friday's practice, though the exact nature of his injury is unclear. He'll join Jaylen Waddle (leg) on the sidelines Saturday. With the duo sidelined, more first-team offense reps will be available for Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Michael Bandy. Tyler Badie, RJ Harvey and Bandy should also see some additional work as returners in special teams drills due to Mims' absence.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Exits practice Friday
Rotowire
Mims (undisclosed) left Friday's practice with an apparent injury, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
With Jaylen Waddle dealing with a muscle strain and Mims having left practice Friday, the Broncos' top healthy WRs at the moment are Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant. Following the high-profile offseason addition of Waddle to work alongside Sutton, however, Mims' path to steady volume is murky as he competes with Franklin and Bryant for slotting behind the top duo.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Paces pass catchers in playoff loss
Rotowire
Mims brought in four of six targets for 62 yards and returned three punts for eight yards in the Broncos' 10-7 loss to the Patriots in Sunday's AFC Championship Game.
Mims and the Broncos looked like they were on the way to a productive afternoon when the speedster hauled in a 52-yard pass from Jarrett Stidham on Denver's second possession, setting up a touchdown pass to Courtland Sutton two plays later. Mims did continue to feature as a key part of the air attack the remainder of the day in the absence of Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant -- the latter exiting the game in the second quarter -- due to hamstring issues, but a second-half snowstorm significantly comprised both teams' offenses. Mims finished as the co-leader in receptions and targets while setting the pace in receiving yards, capping off a productive two-game postseason run that also saw him generate an 8-93-1 line in the divisional-round overtime victory against the Bills.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Disappointing season in 2025
Rotowire
Mims ended the 2025 regular season with 37 receptions on 51 targets for 322 yards and a touchdown, adding 12 rushes for 78 yards and a score across 15 games. He also scored one punt-return touchdown.
Mims entered the year with high hopes to take a step forward in Denver's passing attack, yet the speedy wide receiver never became a significant part of the Broncos' offensive plans this season. The third-year wideout's 322 receiving yards marked a career low for the Oklahoma product. With teammate Courtland Sutton operating as the Broncos' unquestioned No. 1 receiver and both Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant emerging into prominent roles this season, Mims was left very few targets to have an impact offensively. Many of his looks came close to the line of scrimmage, with his limited downfield targets capping his overall upside. Mims is set to enter the final year of his rookie contract in 2026 before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2027. The 23-year-old will likely continue to struggle to produce consistently for fantasy purposes next season, especially with the development of the team's other young receivers within head coach Sean Payton's offense.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Four touches in Week 16
Rotowire
Mims caught all three of his targets for 26 yards and rushed once for three yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars.
Mims continued to play a depth role in the Broncos' wide-receiver corps, playing 32 percent of Denver's offensive snaps in the contest. The Broncos' coaching staff makes it a point to get the ball in the third-year wideout's hands most games, but his opportunities are often in the short passing game and limit his ability to have impact performances each week. Mims has recorded multiple receptions in all but four games this season while also handling at least one carry in all but three contests. Despite his consistent involvement, the 23-year-old has recorded just 32 catches for 302 yards and a touchdown, adding 12 carries for 78 yards and a score. Heading into a Week 17 matchup against the Chiefs, the Oklahoma product cannot be trusted for meaningful fantasy production.

Mims (concussion) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus Green Bay, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Mims is currently being evaluated for a concussion, casting doubt on his status for the remainder of the game. If the 23-year-old ends up being unable to return, Riley Moss would likely fill in as the team's punt returner.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Scores 48-yard punt return TD
Rotowire
Mims caught his lone target for five yards and rushed once for two yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders. He also returned one punt for a 48-yard touchdown and recorded two kickoff returns for 39 yards.
Mims was unable to have much of an impact on offense against the Raiders, playing just 27 percent of Denver's offense snaps. Instead, the 23-year-old wideout made a major contribution on special teams, scoring his first punt return touchdown of the season. With Mims having such a limited role in the Broncos' offense, however, the third-year receiver remains extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Packers.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Minimal production in Week 13
Rotowire
Mims caught both of his targets for eight yards and rushed once for nine yards in Sunday's 27-26 overtime win over the Commanders.
Mims was unable to get much going with his three touches Sunday, as the 23-year-old wideout was not used downfield in Denver's passing attack. The third-year receiver played just 28 of the Broncos' 70 offensive snaps, operating behind Courtland Sutton (57), Pat Bryant (49) and Troy Franklin (37). Mims has played over 50 percent of snaps just twice this season and has not hit that snap share since Week 7. The Oklahoma product should not be trusted for fantasy purposes when the Broncos visit the Raiders in Week 14.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Another full practice
Rotowire
Mims (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Mims will need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist, in order to be eligible to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Having begun Week 11 prep with back-to-back full practices is a sign that he's nearing a return to action, though. Mims has missed Denver's last two games due to a concussion suffered Week 8 versus Dallas.

Mims (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
It's his first full practice since suffering a concussion in the Week 8 win over Dallas. Mims is trending in the right direction for Sunday's matchup with Kansas City, but he'll likely be a part-time player behind Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin, with Pat Bryant and Lil'Jordan Humphrey also competing for snaps/routes.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Won't play Thursday
Rotowire
Mims (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Las Vegas.
The Broncos listed Mims as a limited practice participant Tuesday and Wednesday, hinting at a degree of practice and potential return for Week 11 against Kansas City on Nov. 16. With Mims out for the past game and a half, Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant took on more snaps alongside Courtland Sutton. It'll likely be the same story Thursday night, with Trent Sherfield also having a role as the No. 4 receiver.
