Back with New Orleans
The Saints signed Mims to the practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: Mims appeared in the first six games of the regular season for the Saints, accumulating five carries for 16 yards and two catches (on four targets) for 13 yards over that span. He was waived from the active roster Saturday as he was the odd man out of the Saints' backfield of Alvin Kamara, Jamaal Williams and Kendre Miller (hamstring). However, Mims is back on the Saints' practice squad, and he will be available to be elevated to the active roster should the Saints need additional depth at…read more

Let go by New Orleans
The Saints cut Mims from the active roster on Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Mims handled a depth role for New Orleans during the team's first six regular-season games, but he'll now have to search for a new role. The decision to cut Mims seems like a vote of confidence in Jamaal Williams and Kendre Miller as rotational options behind top running back Alvin Kamara.

Sees late playing time in blowout
Mims accrued four carries for 11 yards during Sunday's 47-10 victory versus the Panthers.
Analysis: Mims logged his first career carry after the score had already reached 47-10 late in the fourth quarter. The second-year running back out of Fresno State only lined up on five offensive snaps, so it's clear that he only saw playing time due to the blowout nature of this game. Before the game got out of hand, Alvin Kamara and Taysom Hill handled the team's top rushing duties, and veteran Jamaal Williams took over early in the second half and finished with 11 carries for 38 yards and a touchdown.…read more

Leading rusher in preseason loss
Mims logged 10 carries for 37 yards during Sunday's 16-10 preseason loss to the 49ers. He also returned two kickoffs for 44 net yards.
Analysis: Mims logged his first carry when the team's starting offense was still in the game early in the second quarter. The 25-year-old also logged more touches and offensive snaps (21) than fellow reserve running back James Robinson, who totaled seven touches on 18 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, 2023 third-round pick Kendre Miller continued to sit out after suffering a hamstring injury early in training camp. As long as Miller's absence continues, Mims and Robinson should be in primary contention for New…read more

Sticking with New Orleans
Mims signed a reserve/future contract with the Saints on Monday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Mims spent the 2023 campaign on and off of the Saints' practice squad, failing to record any stats while garnering two targets over three offensive snaps in two games with the active roster. The running back will stick around New Orleans for the offseason and will have a chance to earn a spot on the 53-man roster ahead of the 2024 season.

Elevated to active roster
The Saints elevated Mims to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Mims' elevation is an insurance move for the Saints with Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller both listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons with ankle injuries. Mims rejoined New Orleans via its practice squad Oct. 23 after being waived from the active roster four days prior. He played in Week 6 against the Texans, when he played four snaps on special teams and did not record a stat.

Signed to active roster
The Saints signed Mims to the active roster Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Mims signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent April 29 but failed to make the team's 53-man roster.

Does not make cut
Mims was waived by the Bills on Monday, Alec White of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: Mims was competing for the No. 3 running back role with Latavius Murray behind James Cook and Damien Harris. He ultimately came up short, but the undrafted free agent will be a likely candidate to be offered a practice squad role with the team.

Out Saturday
Mims is in concussion protocol and will not play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Bears, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
Analysis: Mims left Wednesday's practice after a hit to the mouth that apparently led to a concussion. He is likely on the outside looking in when it comes to making it through final cuts, but that decision has not officially been made yet. Still, he will need to clear the league's concussion protocol before returning to contact drills in practice.

Doesn't practice Wednesday
Mims didn't practice Wednesday after getting hit in the mouth during Tuesday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Mims' absence is unlikely to last much longer, as the rookie undrafted free agent out of Fresno State will look to get back in action for Buffalo's preseason finale against the Bears on Saturday. He's unlikely to make the Bills' 53-man roster, and this absence won't help Mims' chances.
