Cincinnati Bengals first-round pick OT Amarius Mims suffered a strained pectoral that will cause him to miss several weeks, head coach Zac Taylor told reporters according to The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr. The injury casts doubt on Mims’ availability for Week 1.
“It’s unfortunate that he’ll miss several weeks, but expect him to make a full recovery and be ready to roll,” Taylor said in his press conference, clarifying that it’s several weeks from today.
It’s been a bad week to be a first-round rookie in the AFC North. Steelers OT Troy Fautanu suffered an MCL sprain that will keep him out at least one week, while Ravens CB Nate Wiggins suffered a shoulder injury that has him out day-to-day.
