Sheds injury tag ahead of Week 3
Mims (pectoral) was a full participant in Saturday's practice and does not carry an injury designation ahead of Monday's game against Washington, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie first-round pick is slated to make his NFL debut Monday after missing the first two games of the regular season due to a pectoral injury he sustained during training camp. Mims will serve in a depth role on the Bengals' offensive line.

Limited Friday
Mims (pectoral) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Mims sustained a pectoral injury during training camp, which has kept him out of the first two games of the regular season. If he can upgrade his practice participation Saturday, then the rookie first-round pick would be in good shape to make his NFL debut against the Commanders on Monday.

Inactive again
Mims (pectoral) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
The 18th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft will miss his second straight game to start his career. Mims has been dealing with the pectoral injury since August. Trent Brown should start at right tackle for the Bengals.

Doubtful to face Kansas City
Mims (pectoral) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
The 18th overall pick in April's NFL Draft, Mims looks like he'll have to wait at least another week to make his regular-season pro debut. Trent Brown is expected to get another start at right tackle for Cincinnati.
Sep 11, 2024
Limited Wednesday
Mims (pectoral) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Mims was held out of Cincinnati's Week 1 loss due to a pectoral issue, but it appears he could be nearing a return to the field, as he practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday. Expect Mims to serve as the Bengals' top backup tackle once he fully recovers from his pectoral injury.
Sep 6, 2024
Missing Week 1
Mims (pectoral) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 first-round pick logged a DNP on Friday after practicing in a limited capacity both Wednesday and Thursday, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up in Week 1. With Mims sidelined and D'Ante Smith on injured reserve, Cincinnati's only two healthy tackles are Trent Brown and Orlando Brown.
Sep 4, 2024
Remains limited Wednesday
Mims (pectoral) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Mims has been battling a pectoral injury since the Bengals' first preseason game Aug. 10, but it appears a full return to the field could be coming soon after he logged a limited practice session Wednesday. Once the 2024 first-round pick returns to full health, he's expected to serve as Trent Brown's top backup at right tackle.
Sep 2, 2024
Back on the field
Mims (pectoral) returned to practice Monday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Mims strained his pectoral muscle, presumably in their preseason contest against the Buccaneers on Aug. 10, and was expected to miss multiple weeks. His return to the field to start Week 1 prep, puts him on the proper trajectory to suit up Sunday against the Patriots. However, his status for the matchup likely won't be more definitive until the team releases its initial injury report later in the week.
Aug 12, 2024
Out weeks with pectoral injury
Mims is expected to be sidelined several weeks due to a strained pectoral muscle, Ben Baby of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that Mims' injury won't require surgery, but the rookie lineman is expected to miss Cincinnati's final two preseason contests and is a question mark for Week 1 of the regular season. Mims was selected with the 18th overall pick in April's NFL Draft and had been working with the first-team offense during training camp. He presumably suffered the pec injury during the Bengals' preseason opener Saturday versus Tampa Bay, during which he logged 15 offensive snaps.
