My understanding is Mims is open to that possibility.
We'll see how it goes. Must cross the finish line on any potential transaction!
Bottom Line: Stay Tuned
Folks, the Lions adding Mims to the mix makes too much sense for this not to happen. He is a big wide receiver who has elite speed, and the vertical jump to go up and get balls. If the Lions get this deal done, Mims would be a good temporary replacement until Williams returns in Week 7.
