Marvin Mims

Broncos WR Marvin Mims left Sunday's game vs. the Packers with a stinger. He was also evaluated for a concussion but was cleared, according to the CBS broadcast. We'll update Mims' status when we know more. Denver is already without WR Pat Bryant (hamstring) today.

Broncos WR Pat Bryant (hamstring) is out for Sunday s game vs. the Packers. He didn t practice all week, so this could turn into a multi-week absence. WRs Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims should see more playing time with Bryant sidelined. See where those guys land in the Week 15 WR rankings.

Payton added that if this were a playoff game, Payton would probably be playing. But this is management with the hope of getting things in shape for Bryant down the line. Marvin Mims will find more snaps in Week 15 and both Troy Franklin and Courtland Sutton should get a slight workload upgrade.

Broncos WR Pat Bryant (hamstring) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. Insider Ben Allbright does not expect Bryant to play vs. the Packers this weekend. The rookie has emerged as Denver's No. 2 WR, but his absence would boost Troy Franklin back into that role and Marvin Mims into the No. 3 spot on the depth chart.

Bryant is officially in danger of missing Week 15's game against the Packers after back-to-back DNPs to open the week. Marvin Mims would likely see a role elevation if Bryant missed the game. Troy Franklin and Courtland Sutton would probably also get more steady work if Bryant were indisposed on Sunday.
