Amarius Mims' ankle injury—how crucial is his presence for the Bengals' success this season?

It’s SNF time. Week 5 is here. The Bengals and Ravens were battling it out on the field. But something left the fans shocked. During the 3rd quarter, the first-round pick for the Bungles, Amarius Mims was carted off the field. He tried to stand up but couldn’t. The team is worried.

On the sidelines, the medical team checked his left ankle. He has been listed as questionable for the game. The OT has been taken to the medical tent. That opens the Pandora’s box for the team.

The carting-off is poetic justice for Amarius Mims. The rookie got his chance for the game in the week 3 game against the Commanders. He was the one who carted off the starter Trent Brown. Now, he has been taken off and replaced by Cody Ford.

Trent Green, the CBS color analyst, called it a shocker and said, “This would be a big loss for the Bengals.” If not for the loss, it would be challenging. With 4:39 left in the 4th quarter, the Bengals are leading 38-35. The game hangs by a fine thread.

All the responsibility lies on Joe Burrow now. He has to inspire his team again, just like last week. But wait, the OT has returned.

The week 5 game between the Bengals and Ravens held everyone on the edge of their seats. While the 3rd quarter was nail-biting when Mims was carted off. But the efforts of the medical team paid off. With 3 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter, the OT came back.

It was a fresh wave of air for the Bungles offense. Joe Burrow is trying his best to take them to a win. After three consecutive losses, the QB was also disappointed. Many critics, including Chris Canty, also attacked him for being a winless QB. But that didn’t deter him.

Before the week 4 game against the Panthers, he stepped up and delivered a motivational address to the locker room. Though the details were not revealed, it did work as the team won the game. But it is more important for the team to sustain their winning run.
