Denzel Mims: Cut by Jacksonville
The Jaguars released Mims on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
A second-round draft pick of the Jets in 2020, Mims boasts an intriguing size and speed profile but hasn't been able to translate it into meaningful success at the NFL level. The 26-year-old Mims hasn't seen NFL action since the 2022 season and could be running out of opportunities. He's now been cut by three organizations since the Jets traded him to the Lions last summer, with Detroit, Pittsburgh and Jacksonville having moved on from Mims without him appearing in a regular-season game for any of them.

Jaguars' Denzel Mims: Finds chance in Jacksonville
Mims is slated to sign with the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Mims was waived by Pittsburgh on Tuesday, but he's quickly found a new opportunity to compete. He logged time on the Steelers practice squad last season, though he never suited up for a game with the team. The 2020 second-round pick spent the first three seasons of his NFL career with the Jets, before being traded to the Lions during the 2023 offseason, then failing to make Detroit's roster.

Denzel Mims: Let go by Pittsburgh
The Steelers waived Mims on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Mims spent his first three seasons with the Jets before being traded to Detroit in July of 2023. The 2020 second-round pick was eventually waived with a calf injury by the Lions ahead of last season. He then went unsigned before linking up with Pittsburgh's practice squad in October, though he never appeared in a game for the Steelers during the 2023 campaign and signed a future/reserves contract in January. Mims recorded 11 catches for 186 yards over 10 games during the 2022 season.

The Lions waived Mims (calf) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Lions' Denzel Mims: Heads to injured reserve
Mims (calf) reverted to the Lions' injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Mims dealt with an ankle injury prior to hurting his calf, a combination that has sent him to IR. He'll thus have to miss the entire 2023 season unless he and the Lions agree to terms of an injury settlement. Prior to getting shipped from New York to Detroit in July, the 2020 second-round pick recorded 42 catches in 30 games across three seasons with the Jets.

Denzel Mims: Being waived with injury
The Lions are waiving Mims (calf) due to an injury sustained while rehabbing from a recent ankle issue, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Mims is reportedly now dealing with a calf injury, and by waiving him prior to the start of the regular season Detroit can avoid dealing a conditional late-round pick to the Jets. The 2020 second-round pick will revert to the Lions' injured reserve list assuming he clears waivers, ending his 2023 campaign unless he can reach an injury settlement.
