Mims signed a reserve/future contract with the Steelers on Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mims joined Pittsburgh's practice unit in October, failing to appear in a game during the 2023 campaign. The wide receiver will now stick around for the offseason and attempt to crack the team's initial 53-man roster ahead of the 2024 season.

Pittsburgh signed Mims (calf) to its practice squad Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mims was waived by Detroit prior to Week 1, but he has now found another opportunity with a different team. With Diontae Johnson (hamstring) still on injured reserve, the Steelers are thin at wide receiver behind George Pickens.

The Lions waived Mims (calf) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Detroit traded for Mims just ahead of training camp, but he couldn't stay on the field and practice, missing time with ankle and calf issues. The 2020 second-round pick will be allowed to be picky now and choose his next destination should he clear waivers.

Mims (calf) reverted to the Lions' injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mims dealt with an ankle injury prior to hurting his calf, a combination that has sent him to IR. He'll thus have to miss the entire 2023 season unless he and the Lions agree to terms of an injury settlement. Prior to getting shipped from New York to Detroit in July, the 2020 second-round pick recorded 42 catches in 30 games across three seasons with the Jets.

The Lions are waiving Mims (calf) due to an injury sustained while rehabbing from a recent ankle issue, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mims is reportedly now dealing with a calf injury, and by waiving him prior to the start of the regular season Detroit can avoid dealing a conditional late-round pick to the Jets. The 2020 second-round pick will revert to the Lions' injured reserve list assuming he clears waivers, ending his 2023 campaign unless he can reach an injury settlement.

Mims (ankle) has returned to practice Wednesday, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mims, who joined the Lions via trade from the Jets earlier in training camp, left practice with an ankle injury last week but looks back to full health. The 2020 second-round pick is competing to earn a spot on Detroit's regular-season roster.

Mims injured his ankle during Saturday's practice, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mims came up limping after getting hit hard by safety Tracy Walker. It is not clear if Mims will be able to return in time for Detroit's preseason opener Aug. 11 against the Giants.

The Lions acquired Mims from the Jets on Wednesday, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

EDGE Analysis

The two teams are swapping late-round picks in 2025, with a seventh-rounder going to Detroit and the Jets getting a conditional sixth-rounder, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports. In an effort to drum up last-minute trade interest, the Jets made it public earlier Wednesday that they were going to release Mims. The Cowboys were one of the teams linked to a Mims trade, but Detroit closed the deal, giving the 2020 second-round pick a needed change of scenery. Buried in New York, the 6-foot-3, 207-pound Mims has mouthwatering size and speed but caught just 42 passes for 676 scoreless yards in 30 games with the Jets. With the Lions, Mims will try to carve out a role on the outside where he'll compete with the likes of Marvin Jones, Josh Reynolds, and Kalif Raymond while Jameson Williams is suspended for the first six weeks.

The Jets are expected to waive Mims prior to the start of the season unless the team can find a trade partner for him, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mims, a 2020 second-round pick, hasn't yet scored an NFL touchdown and is evidently on the outside looking in of a crowded receiver room featuring Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Corey Davis, Mecole Hardman (groin) and Randall Cobb (ankle) ahead of him on the depth chart. Barring the possibility of the Jets negotiating something along the lines of a late-round pick exchange, Mims will likely find himself a free agent in the near future. In 10 appearances last season, Mims secured just 11 of 25 targets for 186 yards. He hasn't helped his case for sticking around in New York by offering limited contributions on special teams.

Mims faces an uphill battle as he tries to make the Jets' 53-man roster, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mims has yet to score a touchdown since being selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Jets, and he will need to impress in camp and preseason just to make the roster in 2023. Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Corey Davis, Mecole Hardman (abdomen) and Randall Cobb (ankle) all appear to be comfortably ahead of Mims, and undrafted rookie Jason Brownlee is pushing him for the sixth spot on the wide receiver depth chart. Mims' lack of contributions on special teams won't help his case for securing one of the final spots on the team.
