JORDAN MIMS NEWS

Back with practice squad Mims reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Mims was elevated to the active roster prior to Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans, failing to log any snaps in the contest. The running back could earn another elevation in Week 5 if Tyjae Spears (ankle) isn't ready to return from injured reserve before the team's matchup with the Cardinals.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Joins active roster Mims was elevated from the Titans' practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Kalel Mullings (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Friday and Tyjae Spears (ankle) has missed Tennessee's first three contests this season, so Mims' elevation provides much needed backfield depth. He's expected to play behind both Tony Pollard and Julius Chestnut in the Week 4 matchup against the Texans.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Goes back to practice squad Mims reverted to Tennessee's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Mims was elevated for Week 2 against the Rams and logged nine special-teams snaps, recording one tackle. Mims' likelihood of being elevated again for Week 3 may hinge on whether Kalel Mullings (ankle) is able to suit up.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Joins active roster Mims was elevated from the Titans' practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Impact The Fresno State product failed to make Tennessee's initial 53-man roster in late August, but he remained with the team's practice squad. With Tyjae Spears (ankle) and Kalel Mullings (ankle) likely both missing the Titans' Week 2 matchup against the Rams, Mims is expected to serve as a depth piece in the team's running back corps.

Staying in Tennessee The Titans signed Mims to the practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Mims finished the preseason with 28 carries for 98 yards and six catches on as many targets for 33 yards, but he wasn't able to crack the Titans' 53-man roster Tuesday. He'll stay in Tennessee as a part of the team's practice squad, and he could be elevated to the active roster for the Titans' Week 1 contest against the Broncos if Kalel Mullings (ankle) is unable to play.

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

Casualty of cutdown day The Titans waived Mims on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Mims led Tennessee with 28 carries over three games during the preseason slate, but he gained a modest 98 yards and didn't score any touchdowns. The Fresno State product played with New Orleans last year, recording 70 yards on 20 rushes along with 71 yards on 12 receptions without scoring any touchdowns. Mims also worked on special teams, and his versatility could help him land work elsewhere.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Heavy workload Friday Mims rushed the ball 13 times for 40 yards in Friday's 23-13 preseason win over the Vikings.

Impact Mims was the third back into Friday's contest, after both Julius Chestnut and Kalel Mullings. Mims rotated with Jermar Jefferson but easily led the team with 13 carries. He was far less efficient than Jefferson, which could hurt his chances of cracking the roster to begin the regular season.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with Tennessee Mims is signing a two-year contract with the Titans, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Impact Mims has played in 13 regular-season games for the Saints since going undrafted in 2023, recording 32 touches for 141 yards across 108 snaps on offense. The Titans have Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears locked into the top two spots on their depth chart, leaving Mims to compete with Julius Chestnut, Kalel Mullings and Tyrion Davis-Price for one or two jobs.

JULY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by New Orleans Mims was waived by the Saints on Monday.

Impact The running back suited up for 11 games for the Saints in 2024, recording 20 carries for 70 yards and 12 catches for 71 yards. With Alvin Kamara still leading the Saints' backfield and 2023 third-round pick Kendre Miller, 2025 sixth-round pick Devin Neal and veteran Clyde Edwards-Helaire filling in the spots behind him for the moment, there wasn't much room for Mims reprise his occasional third-string role from last season.

MAY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Logs five touches Week 18 Mims notched two carries for 12 yards and reeled in all three targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 27-19 loss against Tampa Bay.

Impact Mims suited up for his 11th game this season after being ruled a healthy scratch ahead of last week's loss to the Raiders. The second-year running back served as RB3 behind veterans Jamaal Williams and Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who both logged eight carries while Alvin Kamara (groin) and Kendre Miller (concussion) were inactive. Mims never had much of a role other than seeing some sparse third-string reps throughout the year, totaling 20 carries for 70 yards and 12 catches (on 18 targets) for 71 yards. He also spent a few days on the Saints' practice squad in late October and early November. Should New Orleans re-sign him this offseason, Mims will likely compete for a spot on the fringe of the active roster heading into the 2025 campaign.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy scratch for Week 17 Mims (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact Mims logged a season-high 23 offensive snaps against the Packers last Monday with Alvin Kamara (groin) out of action and produced 32 total yards on four carries and five catches. Kamara is sidelined again this week, but the recently signed Clyde Edwards-Helaire was elevated to the active roster Saturday to serve as one of the Saints' three healthy running backs. As such, Mims will be the odd man out versus Las Vegas.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sees minimal usage in lopsided loss Mims accrued four rushes for 16 yards and caught five of eight argets for 16 yards during Monday's 34-0 defeat against the Packers.

Impact The undrafted rookie served as RB2 behind second-year running back Jordan Mims while Alvin Kamara (groin) was inactive. Mims logged season highs in targets and catches as rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler faced consistent pressure throughout the night and was forced to check down over and over again. The running back still averaged just 3.6 yards per touch, which is on par with his production from the nine previous games that he suited up for this year. With two more games left in the regular season and the Saints already eliminated from the playoffs, Mims could continue to serve as RB2 if Kamara ends up being shut down for the remainder of the year.

DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive for Week 14 Mims (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Mims will not suit up Sunday due to Kendre Miller (hamstring) returning from injured reserve. Miller will serve as the Saints' No. 3 running back behind Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams. Mims' next opportunity to play will be Week 15 against the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 15.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive Sunday Mims (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Impact The running back was bumped down to third on the depth chart behind Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams with the latter returning from a groin injury for his first game since Week 8. Mims only saw 29 combined offensive snaps in the three games that Williams missed.

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs two carries Week 11 Mims totaled two carries for three yards during Sunday's 35-14 victory over Cleveland.

Impact The undrafted rookie was once again a non-factor in the rushing game, as Alvin Kamara led the way with 16 carries while do-it-all tight end Taysom Hill exploded for 138 rushing yards and three touchdowns on seven carries. Mims has now logged five or fewer carries in each oo his last three appearances, and his usage hasn't increased despite the continued absence of No. 2 running back Jamaal Williams (groin). The Saints will have a bye Week 12 before returning to play the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 1, which could give time for Williams to get healthy before reprising his own minimal role behind Kamara and Hill.

NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Plays third fiddle again Week 10 Mims recorded two carries for 10 yards and gathered in one of two targets for four yards during Sunday's 20-17 win against the Falcons.

Impact Mims was once again the Saints' RB2 with Jamaal Williams (groin) sidelined for the second week in a row. The second-year running back still ran behind both starting running back Alvin Kamara and tight end Taysom Hill, as these two logged 17 and four carries, respectively. Mims has now totaled seven carries and three targets while filling in for Williams over the past two weeks. He'll likely have a minimal role if he once again fills in at RB2 during next week's game against Cleveland on Sunday, Nov. 17.

NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies five carries Week 9 Mims tallied five rushes for 13 yards and hauled in his only target for 25 yards during Sunday's 23-22 defeat against the Panthers.

Impact Mims stepped up to serve as the Saints' RB2 with veteran Jamaal Williams (groined) sidlined Week 9. The second-year back still had to contend for carries behind starter Alvin Kamara, as do-it-all tight end Tyasom Hill also tallied five rushing attempts for 19 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, Kamara handled a full bell-cow workload with 29 carries and six receptions out of the backfield. With Kendre Miller (hamstring) on IR, Mims could continue to serve as RB2 if Williams remains sidelined for next Sunday's game versus Atlanta, though his workload will likely be limited once again.

NOVEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Signed to active roster The Saints signed Mims off the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Impact Mims was waived off the active roster by the Saints on Oct. 26, but he opted to stay in New Orleans on the practice squad. He should see some meaningful snaps Sunday against the Panthers as Alvin Kamara's backup due to Jamaal Williams (groin) and Kendre Miller (hamstring) both being sidelined. Across six regular-season outings, Mims has logged five carries for 16 yards and two catches (on four targets) for 13 yards.

NOVEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back with New Orleans The Saints signed Mims to the practice squad Tuesday.

Impact 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 running back on game day.

OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Let go by New Orleans The Saints cut Mims from the active roster on Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sees late playing time in blowout Mims accrued four carries for 11 yards during Sunday's 47-10 victory versus the Panthers.

Impact 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 rusining duties, and veteran Jamaal Williams took over early in the second half and finished with 11 carries for 38 yards and a touchdown. Mims should continue to fulfill a fringe RB3 role while 2023 third-round pick Kendre Miller (hamstring) remains on IR for at least the next three games.

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.

Impact 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 backup 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 Orleans' No. 3 running back spot heading into the regular season.
