"ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton said Thursday the team got "good news" on wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr.'s groin injury and the third-year veteran should be on track to play in the Sept. 7 season opener against the Tennessee Titans. Mims left Wednesday's practice with the injury, as he walked off the field with the Broncos' medical staff about halfway through the team's on-field work. Mims was taken for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam as well as some additional tests."
""On Marvin, good news, he'll be back to practice," Payton said Thursday. "We have a bonus practice Monday and he'll be at work Monday. So, we're fortunate." Mims has spent much of training camp and the preseason among the starters on offense, as he, Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin have spent the most snaps at receiver with quarterback Bo Nix."
Broncos coach Sean Payton reported encouraging news on Marvin Mims Jr.'s groin injury, saying Mims should return to practice and attend the team's bonus session. Mims exited a recent practice and underwent an MRI and additional tests. He has worked with starters during training camp and preseason alongside Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin, often lining up with quarterback Bo Nix. Mims finished last season with 39 receptions for 503 yards and six touchdowns, and he made the Pro Bowl as a returner, leading the league at 15.7 yards per punt return. Payton wants to increase Mims' offensive snaps because of his after-catch explosiveness.
