BREAKING: The Denver Broncos have placed wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. in the concussion protocol following a concerning hit during Sunday’s decisive victory against the Dallas Cowboys. This development raises immediate concerns for the Broncos’ offensive lineup ahead of their next matchup.
During the game, Mims suffered a significant helmet-to-helmet collision with Cowboys cornerback Reddy Stewart while rushing for 9 yards in the third quarter. Although he continued to play, he was later reported to have sustained a concussion after a hit during a kickoff return with less than five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
On that 26-yard kickoff return, Mims appeared to take a hard shot to the back of his helmet while going out of bounds. He initially lingered on the turf before rising and returning to the sideline, prompting concerns about his health.
This comes off the heels of a breakout performance in Week 7, where Mims recorded six receptions for 85 yards against the New York Giants. In contrast, his performance against the Cowboys was subdued, with only three carries for 18 yards and no receptions. However, he did make an impact in the return game, highlighted by a 46-yard kickoff return that helped set up a Broncos field goal.
Additionally, the Broncos confirmed that star cornerback Pat Surtain II is sidelined due to injury, further complicating the team’s strategy as they prepare for their upcoming games.
Fans and analysts alike are now watching closely as the Broncos navigate these player health issues. The team’s next steps in managing Mims’ recovery will be critical, as they seek to maintain their momentum after a commanding 44-24 win over the Cowboys.
Stay tuned for further updates on Mims’ condition and what it means for the Broncos’ upcoming games. This situation is developing, and more information is expected to emerge shortly.
