CINCINNATI — Bengals first round pick Amarius Mims suffered a strained pectoral muscle in Saturday's loss to the Buccaneers.
Head coach Zac Taylor said Mims will miss "several weeks."
"Optimistic that we'll get him back in several weeks," Taylor said.
He didn't say whether or not he expects Mims to be back for the regular season opener.
"I wouldn't take anything off the table," he said when asked if Mims could start.
The rookie was expected to continue to take first-team reps if he didn't suffer the injury. Mims felt the injury after the game. It wasn't something he felt during his 15 snaps according to Taylor.
