Amarius Mims, the right tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals, suffered a left ankle injury during a game against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. The severity of the injury caused Mims to be carted off the field, and there were concerns about his ability to return to the game. Mims, a key player drafted in the first round by the Bengals in 2024, sustained the injury in the third quarter while blocking for Chase Brown on a running play.
The injury to Mims is a significant blow to the Bengals, as he had recently transitioned into the starting role at right tackle following Trent Brown’s season-ending knee injury two weeks prior. Cody Ford stepped in to replace Mims during Sunday’s game as the Bengals sought to adjust to the absence of their starting right tackle.
The incident serves as a reminder of the physical toll that professional football can take on players, with injuries often reshaping team dynamics and strategies on the field. The Bengals will likely monitor Mims’ injury closely in the coming days to assess the extent of the damage and determine a course of action for his recovery and potential return to play.
