The Bengals picked Mims with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. He got off to an impressive start in training camp and fared well in Cincinnati's preseason opener, but suffered a pectoral strain that sidelined him for over a month.

So much from the past year has been made of Amarius Mims, and not for anything he does on the football field. Ironically, his lack of on-field time has been the center of his criticisms. It's why the Cincinnati Bengals were able to select him with the 18th overall pick in this year's NFL Draft.

Cincinnati Bengals right tackle Trent Brown will miss the remainder of the 2024 season, leaving first-rounder Amarius Mims as the full-time starter. During the loss to Washington on Monday night, Brown suffered a torn patellar tendon that requires surgery, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
