ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Broncos coach Sean Payton said Thursday that All-Pro kick returner and wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. checked out fine after leaving practice a day earlier so doctors could see if he had a groin injury.
“Marvin, good news,” Payton said following practice ahead of the team’s kickoff luncheon. “We have a bonus practice Monday, and he’ll be at work Monday so we’re fortunate.

Mims caught six touchdown passes last season and led the league with a 15.7-yard average on punt returns. He averaged 16 yards per punt return his rookie year, when he had a 99-yarder for a touchdown to go with one TD fro
