Colorado Springs Pueblo, CO, October 26, 2026 —
Marvin Mims Jr. has returned to the Denver Broncos’ primary kickoff returner role, with a significant return in the team’s recent game against the Arizona Cardinals among the explosive plays cited in the summary of his performance.
Broncos coach Sean Payton described Mims as an “explosive playmaker” and said the team intends to increase his involvement on special teams and in the offense. The comments point to a broader role for Mims, though the available information does not specify how that increased involvement will be put into practice.
The summary does not provide the date or score of the game against Arizona, the distance of Mims’ return, or any other statistics from the contest. It also does not say when Mims resumed the primary returner role or identify any circumstances surrounding the change. No details were provided about how many additional offensive opportunities the team plans to give him.
For now, the reported developments are limited to Mims’ return to the kickoff role, the notable play against the Cardinals and Payton’s stated intention to expand the player’s contributions. The information does not indicate whether that plan has already resulted in a change to Mims’ workload or describe what his specific offensive duties might be.
The Broncos’ plans for Mims’ involvement in both areas will determine how his role develops. Further details, including performance statistics and the timing of any changes, were not included in the available summary.
