Cincinnati Bengals Head Coach Zac Taylor confirmed Monday afternoon in his press conference that OT Amarius Mims will miss several weeks “but not more than many” with a strained pec.

Adding to the list of worry about Mims…
Amarius Mims fell to the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2024 NFL Draft strictly because of his lack of availability. Most considered him the top tackle in the draft, and if minimal play on Saturday against Tampa Bay Bucaneers was worth anything, it sure looked like it. He did not register many starts in college at Georgia due to injuries, and he’ll start his professional campaign injured as well. It’s said that this pec is the same one that bothered him in college.
Cincinnati Bengals 1st round injury history
It’s not a secret: The Bengals constantly lose their 1st round picks to injury, seemingly every single year. Ja’Marr Chase is the only one in recent memory that had not spent a portion of his rookie season on the injured list *that played significant amount of time/significant role.
