Denzel Mims News
The Detroit Lions waived wide receiver Denzel Mims (calf) from Injured Reserve with an injury settlement on Thursday. If Mims clears waivers, he'll become a free agent on Friday and will be free to sign with any NFL team. The Lions acquired Mims from the New York Jets in a trade before training camp, but the 25-year-old was bothered by ankle and calf injuries and ultimately wasn't able to earn a spot on Detroit's roster. Mims has been a bust since the Jets took him in the second round of the 2020 draft out of Baylor. In his three seasons in New York, he caught 42 of his 92 targets for 676 yards and no touchdowns in 30 games (15 starts). It's possible that the Jets consider reuniting with him due to a recent injury to Allen Lazard (shoulder) and the retirement of Corey Davis this week.
Wide receiver Denzel Mims (ankle, calf) was reverted to the Lions' injured reserve list on Saturday. The wideout, who recently suffered ankle and calf injuries during practice, was waived by the team a few days ago but passed through waivers unclaimed. Mims was traded to Detroit after three uneventful seasons as a New York Jet, amassing 42 catches for 676 yards while failing to find the end zone in 30 games. Detroit will likely reach an injury settlement with the 25-year-old, meaning he'll be waived and become a free agent. While he'll likely find a new team, he probably won't offer much to fantasy managers in the near future.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Denzel Mims has been waived by the organization on Friday. The 25-year-old was reportedly impressing early on in camp, but injuries set him back. Mims suffered an ankle injury in practice, which led to a calf injury. Mims wasn't able to stay healthy enough for the Lions to trust him with a roster spot. The former second-round pick should be able to catch on elsewhere. The expectation is that he probably won't have fantasy value anywhere, but could be a depth option for someone.
