Sean Payton addresses injury concerns for Marvin Mims ahead of Jaguars game
Summary

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton commented on the injury status of All-Pro Marvin Mims leading up to the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Mims missed practice on Thursday due to a foot injury, causing concern about his availability for Sunday. This is the second consecutive practice he has missed following his return in Week 1. Payton joked with reporters about the significance of the practice day, but did not provide clarity on Mims' situation. The Broncos acquired Jaylen Waddle in the offseason, which may lessen the impact if Mims is sidelined. Mims holds the highest punt-return average in NFL history, adding to his importance for the team as they seek to avoid a third consecutive 0-1 start under Payton.
