Mims accrued four rushes for 16 yards and caught five of eight targets for 16 yards during Monday's 34-0 defeat to the Packers. 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.

Mims (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants. 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.
Mims (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams. The running back bumps 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.
Mims totaled two carries for three yards during Sunday's 35-14 victory over Cleveland. 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.
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. 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.
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. 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.
The Saints signed Mims off the practice squad to the active roster Saturday. 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.
The Saints signed Mims to the practice squad Tuesday. 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.
The Saints cut Mims from the active roster on Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. 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.
