The Denver Broncos are gearing up to host the Cincinnati Bengals in a pivotal Week 4 Monday Night Football matchup. As Sean Payton’s squad prepares to take the field, all eyes are on wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. Fans are asking: Will Mims suit up and contribute tonight, or will the Broncos need to adjust their receiving corps?
Will Marvin Mims Jr. play against the Bengals tonight?
Marvin Mims Jr. is listed as questionable for the game due to a hip injury. He was limited in practice on Friday and appeared on the final injury report released on Saturday. His availability will likely be determined closer to kickoff, making him a potential game-time decision.Mims plays a dual role as a receiver and a return specialist, making his status particularly important for Denver’s offensive and special teams strategy. If active, he could contribute in the passing game, as well as in punt and kickoff returns, providing a spark for the Broncos against Cincinnati’s defense.

Marvin Mims Jr.’s impact on the Broncos’ offense
For Denver, Mims’ presence isn’t just about having another receiver, it’s about maintaining versatility and explosiveness on offense and special teams. He may not lead the team in receptions, but his ability to make plays in open space and contribute on returns adds a key dimension to Sean Payton’s game plan.If Mims sits out, expect Troy Franklin and rookie Pat Bryant to see increased targets, while Riley Moss would likely handle the punt returns. Broncos fans will be watching closely, hoping Mims is cleared to take the field and give Denver an extra weapon against the Bengals’ defense.Also read – Did Adele really turn down the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show?
