Who Should I Start? Denzel Mims or Tyrie Cleveland

Tuesday, October 3, 2:08 PM

Free agent wide receiver Denzel Mims is signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad on Tuesday. The 25-year-old was traded from the New York Jets to the Detroit Lions on July 20 but was released by Detroit just two months later. Given Mims' track record since being selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, there's a low probability he'll make a significant impact on the struggling Steelers' offense even if he makes his way onto the active roster. He has just 42 receptions for 676 yards and zero touchdowns after three years in the NFL.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland (head, neck) was carted off the field during Thursday's preseason matchup versus the Browns. Luckily, the update wasn't as bad as expected, with the wideout officially diagnosed with a concussion and sprained neck. He's expected to make a full recovery. Cleveland has appeared in 23 games during his career, all in Denver, amassing just eight catches for 91 yards. He signed with the Eagles during the offseason, but he'll need to scratch and claw to make the active roster for Week 1, assuming he's healthy by then.
