Cincinnati Bengals rookie offensive tackle Amarius Mims was one of the top items of discussion from the team’s Week 16 win over the Cleveland Browns.
There, the standout rookie suffered an ankle injury and had a dustup with a coach on the sideline in the process.
Exiting the injury that had him tagged as questionable to return and the heated exchange with line coach Frank Pollack, Mims had plenty to say after the game.
Mims told WLWT’s Olivia Ray that the ankle issue was a matter of pain management and had this to say about Pollack: “We’re good. Tempers flare on the sidelines. This is a game of love and passion. He’s passionate about the game; I’m passionate about the game. Things happen, but I promise you we’re good, we talked about it, hugged it out.”
Onlookers might never get the full details, but one can presume the Bengals probably wanted to play it safe with Mims given his attendance history in college and the short turnaround to Saturday’s must-win game against the Denver Broncos.
Given how things have cooled on both topics so soon after the game ended, all seems well on the Mims front ahead of the short week.
