This raised concerns about the Broncos' playmaking receiver/returner, but after the game, Head Coach Sean Payton gave a positive update on Mims' health. He told reporters that "Mims is going to be fine" and that he is simply dealing with a bruise.
Mims, who started out camp hot and was making plays early on, suffered what was called a "soft tissue injury," and it sidelined him for the majority of training camp and, outside of a few snaps last night, the vast majority of the preseason. Now, he is dealing with a bruised foot, but thankfully, according to Payton, it seems like a minor injury.

This gives Mims plenty of time to heal up and be ready for the Broncos' big opening-night matchup vs. their divisional rivals on the road.
