Not playing preseason Week 2
Mitchell (hamstring) isn't expected to play in the 49ers' second preseason game Saturday, Aug. 20 at Minnesota, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Coach Kyle Shanahan relayed the news after Friday's exhibition win against the Packers, noting the 49ers then will make a decision regarding Mitchell for preseason Week 3 (Thursday, Aug. 25 in Houston). Shanahan's statement seems to contradict a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN earlier Friday that Mitchell likely would miss the entire preseason. With a new starting quarterback in Trey Lance in San Francisco, the team should have a dress rehearsal of sorts with most of the first-team offense…read more

Tending to hamstring injury
Mitchell is dealing with a hamstring issue that may keep him sidelined for the entire preseason, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Prior to kickoff of Friday's exhibition against the Packers, Mitchell wasn't seen in uniform along with a number of the 49ers' top skill-position talent, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. But Mitchell's absence is related to an injury. While he may not make an appearance in a game in August, he is slated to be available when the team opens the regular season Sunday, Sept. 11 in Chicago.

Healthy to open training camp
Mitchell (knee) worked with the first-team offense at San Francisco's first practice of training camp, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Mitchell underwent a cleanup procedure in his knee after his rookie season, but it's safe to say he's back to full health, as the 49ers would have no reason to rush his return at this stage of the offseason. Per Dieter Kurtenbach of The Mercury News, Jeff Wilson, Trey Sermon and rookie Tyrion Davis-Price all looked impressive as well, but a healthy Mitchell should open the season as the clear top option in San Francisco's deep backfield.

Opts for offseason knee procedure
Mitchell said Monday that he underwent a cleanup procedure on his knee following his rookie season, but he expects to be 100 percent in advance of training camp, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Mitchell was a fixture on the 49ers' injury reports throughout the 2021 campaign, with a combination of the knee, shoulder and rib injuries as well as a concussion keeping him sidelined for six of San Francisco's 20 contests, including the postseason. The knee issue first popped up in early December, but Mitchell continued to fill a lead role out of the 49ers backfield when he was available for the final five games, as he amassed 373 rushing yards, 68 receiving yards and two scores over those…read more

Gains 70 total yards in loss
Mitchell rushed 11 times for 20 yards and caught all three targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Mitchell didn't get much help from the usually-creative run designer Kyle Shanahan in this one. A good portion of the 23-year-old's carries were inside zone runs out of shotgun formations directly into the human wall that is known better as Aaron Donald. Mitchell was able to break free on a huge catch and run in an eventual loss, putting an end to an impressive rookie campaign (1,100 combined yards and six touchdowns over 11 regular-season games). It is unclear what the 49ers backfield will…read more

Ready for Sunday
Mitchell (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game at the Rams, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Mitchell endured a cap on his on-field reps this week, missing Wednesday's session before returning as a limited participant Thursday due to a lingering knee issue. Following a full practice Friday, it won't stop him from making a fifth straight appearance this weekend. In the previous four, Mitchell combined for 86 carries and six catches, while do-it-all Deebo Samuel accrued 48 touches and the rest of the backfield tallied four. Expect Mitchell again to receive a majority share of the running…read more

Limited Thursday
Mitchell (knee) will be a limited practice participant Thursday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: After sitting out Wednesday's session, Mitchell is ramping up his activity level as he continues to deal with a knee injury stemming from a Week 13 road matchup with the Seahawks. Still, he's rid himself of a designation by the release of the 49ers' final practice report for three straight weeks, which he'll aim to do Friday. Assuming he's good to go for Sunday's NFC Championship Game at the Rams, Mitchell should approach his 23 touches per game from the past four outings.

Not practicing Wednesday
Mitchell (knee) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Once again, the 49ers are placing practice limitations on Mitchell due to the knee injury that has bothered him since early December. He hasn't had any problem playing through the issue, earning most of the snaps given to 49ers running backs over the last four contests. During that stretch, Mitchell has averaged 23 touches for 92.8 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring two touchdowns. He'll look to mix into drills Thursday and/or Friday and enter the weekend without a designation for…read more

Gains 71 yards on 20 touches
Mitchell rushed 17 times for 53 yards and caught three of four targets for 18 more yards in Saturday's 13-10 playoff win over the Packers.
Analysis: The 49ers ran the ball early and often, but the Packers' defensive front was ready for that exact gameplan, leaving Mitchell with an inefficient rushing performance. The talented rookie finished second among both teams' position players with 20 total touches, which helped him put together a respectable 71 total yards of offense despite the low efficiency. Those looking to roll with Mitchell in the championship round won't find much of a soft matchup against either the Bucs or Rams, who both…read more

Full practice Wednesday
Mitchell (knee) practiced fully Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Mitchell has managed an uncapped session earlier than he did the previous three weeks as he puts his bout with knee irritation further in the rear-view mirror. During the recent three-game stretch, he averaged 24 touches for 100 yards from scrimmage per game while totaling two touchdowns. Mitchell will look to keep it going Saturday in the divisional round, taking on a Packers defense that has allowed 4.3 yards per carry (17th-most in the NFL) and 14 touchdowns (tied for 20th-most) to running…read more

Limited practice on tap
Mitchell (knee) will practice in a limited capacity Tuesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: As has been the norm for Mitchell since he sat out Weeks 14-16 due to knee irritation, he's again being limited at practice, likely to keep him as fresh as possible with the 49ers in the midst of the playoffs. In the three games since being shut down, he's served as the team's workhorse running back with 69 carries for 300 yards and one touchdown to go with three catches on four targets for zero net yards and another score. Thursday's injury report will reveal whether or not Mitchell goes into…read more

Finds end zone in wild-card win
Mitchell carried the ball 27 times for 96 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Dallas in the wild-card round. He also saw two targets but lost 11 yards on his only catch.
Analysis: The running back got the day started on a strong note for the 49ers by punching in a four-yard TD run on the team's first possession, giving San Francisco a lead it didn't relinquish. With Jimmy Garoppolo still nursing a thumb injury, the Niners will likely lean heavily on their run game again next weekend in the divisional round against the Packers, which should ensure a significant workload for Mitchell.

Cleared for wild-card round
Mitchell (knee) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's wild-card game against the Cowboys.
Analysis: Even though Mitchell sat out the team's first practice of the week Wednesday, the 49ers provided no indication he was dealing with any sort of setback with the knee issue that kept him out for three consecutive games Weeks 14 through 16. He gradually increased his participation in practice throughout the week and should be ready to fill his usual role Sunday as the 49ers' lead option on the ground, just as he did in the final two regular-season games.

Bumps up to limited Thursday
Mitchell (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Mitchell followed up Wednesday's absence with some reps one day later as he continues to tend to a knee injury. He's played through the concern the past two weeks, handling at least 54 percent of snaps on both occasions and earning 44 touches. During that same stretch, JaMycal Hasty and Jeff Wilson combined for four touches on 42 plays, indicating this is Mitchell's backfield when healthy and available.

Analysis: Mitchell came back from a three-game absence and took 44 touches over the final two weeks of the regular season, but he's still bothered by his knee, with head coach Kyle Shanahan saying Monday that the running back's practice reps could be limited. The rookie is still expected to play in Sunday's wild-card game against the Cowboys, assuming he gets back on the practice field Thursday or Friday without any setbacks.

Practice limitations to continue
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the 49ers will continue to manage Mitchell's (knee) reps on the practice field this week, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Mitchell has been bothered by a knee injury since also picking up a concussion during a Week 13 loss at Seattle. He subsequently missed the next three games, but he's been active for the past two outings, logging at least 50 percent of snaps on both occasions en route to a combined 44 touches for 215 yards from scrimmage and one receiving TD.

Rushes for 85 yards in OT win
Mitchell rushed 21 times for 85 yards and did not receive a target as a receiver in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Rams.
Analysis: Mitchell did not carry an injury designation heading into this matchup, which has been a rare occurrence during an injury-filled rookie campaign. The 2021 sixth-round pick finishes the regular season way ahead of expectations with 1,100 combined yards and six total touchdowns in 11 games. It will be very interesting to see how the 49ers treat Mitchell's role next season when the team's running-back corps heals up, as he has clearly established that he can produce as the lead rushing option in a…read more

Good to go
Mitchell (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Mitchell returned from a three-game absence last week and took 23 touches for 130 yards and a TD in the 49ers' 23-7 win over Houston. He should be busy again Sunday, regardless of whether Jimmy Garoppolo (questionable/thumb) or Trey Lance is starting at quarterback. In his first matchup with the Rams, back in Week 10, Mitchell took 27 carries for 91 scoreless yards and finished without a target in a 31-10 win for the Niners.

Analysis: It remains to be seen if Mitchell will mix into drills and be considered at least a limited participant Thursday, but it's also more activity than he displayed Wednesday as a non-participant. In the end, the 49ers may just be managing the knee issue that, along with a concussion, conspired to keep him sidelined Weeks 14-16.

The rookie sixth-round pick has been a revelation when healthy this season, with five 100-yard performances on the ground in 10 appearances.

Analysis: Mitchell returned from a three-game absence and did not skip a beat, producing his sixth 100-plus yard rushing game while collecting his sixth total touchdown of the season in the process. The talented rookie didn't show any residual effects from the knee or head injuries he recovered from, re-establishing himself as the 49ers' clear top back.

Analysis: Making his first appearance since Week 13, Mitchell may have some conditioning issues considering he dealt with a concussion and a knee injury during that stretch. Still, he's been the most effective 49ers running back by a long shot this season, averaging 4.6 yards on his 165 carries, reeling in 17 of 18 targets for 126 yards and scoring five touchdowns on the ground in nine appearances.

He's also been bothered by knee irritation at the same time, but coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that he's "holding out hope" that Mitchell will return for Thursday's contest at Tennessee, per David Lombardi of The Athletic.

No return to practice
Mitchell (concussion/knee) isn't practicing Friday and thus appears unlikely to play in Sunday's game against the Falcons, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Mitchell did some work with the training staff Wednesday and Thursday but ultimately missed every practice for a second straight week. If he does end up sitting again, Jeff Wilson would figure to lead the San Francisco backfield, albeit in a smaller role than what Mitchell's handled for most of the year, with WR Deebo Samuel taking some of the carries while JaMycal Hasty and Kyle Juzsczyk play a bunch of pass snaps.

Analysis: Mitchell hasn't made any notable progress through the concussion protocol this week, which has coincided with him dealing with "knee irritation" as well. The pair of injuries may conspire to keep him sidelined for a fourth time this season, something that could be confirmed as early as the release of Friday's practice report.

He eventually finished with 22 carries for 66 yards and one touchdown and added three catches (on three targets) for 18 yards. Having said that, coach Kyle Shanahan relayed that Mitchell reported concussion symptoms Monday morning and now will be subject to the five phases of the protocol for head injuries to receive clearance for game action.

Finds end zone in loss
Mitchell carried the ball 22 times for 66 yards and a touchdown and caught all three of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: He didn't have a lot of success against a motivated Seattle front seven, with his longest run going for only nine yards, but Mitchell still salvaged his day with a two-yard TD in the first quarter. He also briefly left the game in the second half to be checked for a concussion, but he was able to return to action. Mitchell has seen huge volume in his last three games, amassing 290 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 76 carries, and the Niners will likely lean heavily on the rookie again in Week…read more

Being evaluated for head injury
Mitchell is under evaluation for a head injury during Sunday's game in Seattle, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Mitchell took an elbow to his helmet on a carry late in the third quarter on which he lost the ball. Ultimately, a fumble was overturned as his knee was down before the ball came loose, but the running back required immediate medical attention and went to the blue sideline tent to be examined. If he's unable to return, Mitchell will end Week 13 with 18 carries for 54 yards and one touchdown and two catches (on two targets) for seven yards. Jeff Wilson and JaMycal Hasty are the other healthy RBs…read more

Makes impact in return
Mitchell carried the ball 27 times for 133 yards and a touchdown and caught five of six targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Vikings.
Analysis: After missing last week's contest due to rib and finger injuries, Mitchell seemed none the worse for wear in his return and saw his highest touch volume of the season, setting a new career high in scrimmage yards in the process. The rookie is the clear No. 1 back for the Niners when he's healthy, giving him significant upside in Week 13 against the Seahawks.

Returning to action Week 12
Mitchell (finger) is active for Sunday's game versus the Vikings.
Analysis: Mitchell came out of Week 10 with a broken finger that required surgery. Initially, there was optimism from coach Kyle Shanahan that Mitchell would be able to play Week 11, but the 49ers ended up keeping him out of practice and eventually on the sideline last Sunday at Jacksonville. In his return to the practice field Wednesday, Mitchell was tabbed with both the finger and a rib issue, which resulted in limited listings on all three Week 12 injury reports and a questionable designation for…read more

Analysis: Mitchell opened Week 12 prep with back-to-back limited listings on 49ers injury reports as he contended with both his recovery from surgery on his finger and a rib issue. The former is the one clouding his status, but coach Kyle Shanahan told Matt Barrows of The Athletic on Friday that Mitchell will play Sunday if he's "comfortable" with how the 49ers are protecting his finger.

Another limited practice
Mitchell (rib/finger) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice report, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Mitchell also was limited Wednesday after a week in which he underwent surgery that forced him to sit out this past Sunday at Jacksonville. By at least maintaining his activity level for a second straight day, he seems to be putting himself in a position to return Sunday against the Vikings. Ultimately, though, Mitchell may enter the weekend with an injury designation, leaving a question mark about who will head the 49ers backfield in Week 12.

Analysis: Mitchell had surgery on his right middle finger last Tuesday and didn't practice last week or play in Sunday's win over the Jaguars. He has a shot to make it back for the 49ers' upcoming home game against Minnesota this weekend, though Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle suggests Mitchell still looks "iffy" to play.

Analysis: Mitchell has taken control of the 49ers backfield in 2021 and is coming off a season-high 27 carries in Monday's win over the Rams. Unfortunately, it appears he didn't escape the contest unscathed and will be forced to get a pin inserted in the finger, per David Lombardi of The Athletic.

Mitchell rushed 27 times for 91 yards in Monday night's 31-10 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Mitchell had a few nice runs but often didn't find much room up front. While fellow tailback Jeff Wilson didn't either, finishing with 10 carries for 28 yards, wideout Deebo Samuel actually proved to be San Francisco's most efficient runner, taking his five handoffs for 36 yards and a touchdown.

Analysis: Mitchell managed to put together a full practice Saturday, which sets the rookie up to make his first appearance under the Monday night lights. JaMycal Hasty, who won't play Monday due to an ankle injury, was the only other running back besides Mitchell to see snaps over the last three weeks, but expect Jeff Wilson and Trenton Cannon to take some of that playing time, especially with the former finally set to play after a lengthy stay on injured reserve.

Mitchell (ribs) was a limited practice participant Friday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Mitchell continues to sport a no-contact jersey and appears on track to play through the rib injury for a second straight week. He had a season high for targets (five) and a season low for carries (eight) in last week's 31-17 loss to the Cardinals, with a 66 percent snap share being right in Mitchell's usual range. It is possible he picks up some extra work Monday if JaMycal Hasty (ankle) is inactive, though it's more likely Jeff Wilson simply takes over Hasty's passing-down role.

The rookie stayed involved in the offense, however, setting career highs in catches, targets and receiving yards. Jeff Wilson was active for the first time all year Sunday but didn't see any touches.

Analysis: It was a tale of two running backs Sunday, as Mitchell posted an identical rushing line to the Colts' Jonathan Taylor. While the latter's team got the victory, the rookie tailback continued to establish himself as the top dog in San Francisco and as a reliable fantasy option for managers. Mitchell gets a favorable matchup next Sunday against the Bears, who have given up 122.1 rushing yards per game to opponents this season.

Reclaims lead role
Mitchell (shoulder) ran for 43 yards on nine carries against Arizona on Sunday, adding two receptions for 19 yards on two targets.
Analysis: Although he saw only nine carries, Mitchell functioned as the clear RB1 for the 49ers ahead of fellow rookie Trey Sermon (one carry for seven yards). The reason Mitchell's usage was so low was the high rushing volume claimed by quarterback Trey Lance (16 carries for 89 yards), who draws carries that would otherwise go to the running backs under Jimmy Garoppolo (calf).

While Sermon bounced back from a poor showing in the Week 3 loss to the Packers with a more productive one (19 carries for 89 yards) last week against the Seahawks, he's still likely to lose at least some work to Mitchell, who briefly took over as the 49ers' top option out of the backfield following Raheem Mostert's (knee) season-ending injury in the…read more

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Mitchell (shoulder) likely would've been ruled out rather than listed as doubtful if the 49ers had better alternatives in the backfield for Sunday against the Packers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: In other words, Mitchell might not play even if he avoids the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. He should be removed from fantasy lineups in all but the most desperate of situations, while fellow rookie Trey Sermon figures to head the San Francisco backfield Sunday night. Recent signees Trenton Cannon and Jacques Patrick are the other tailbacks on the roster, while veterans Chris Thompson and Kerryon Johnson could be called up from the practice squad. Mitchell did return to…read more

Doubtful for Sunday
Mitchell (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Packers, while teammate Trey Sermon (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Sermon thus becomes the latest favorite to lead San Francisco's injury-riddled backfield, though the team isn't quite ready to make Mitchell's Week 3 absence official. GM John Lynch did sound pessimistic Friday morning when discussing the sixth-round rookie, though his return to practice Friday as a limited participant at least could be taken as a positive sign for Mitchell's chances to return in Week 4 or 5. With the Niners playing on Sunday night this week, Mitchell's fantasy managers won't…read more

Returns to practice
Mitchell (shoulder) returned to practice Friday, while fellow 49ers running back Trey Sermon (concussion) shed his non-contact jersey, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It's good news for both, though Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports that Friday's practice is just a walkthrough, while 49ers GM John Lynch acknowledged Mitchell is "very questionable" for Sunday. Despite the injury woes, there's opportunity for a large workload, especially if one RB plays while the other is inactive. The 49ers' only healthy backfield options are Jacques Patrick and Trenton Cannon, both recent additions.

Status remains in question
GM John Lynch said Friday that Mitchell's (shoulder) availability for Sunday's game against the Packers is "very questionable," David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Mitchell sat out Wednesday's and Thursday's practice sessions due to the shoulder injury, and he may not be available for Sunday's matchup with Green Bay. It's unclear if the 23-year-old will be able to practice in any capacity Friday, and his participation during that session could dictate whether or not he'll have a chance to play heading into the weekend.

Another DNP on Thursday
Mitchell (shoulder) didn't practice Thursday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Mitchell has yet to get on the field this week due to a shoulder injury suffered Week 2. Coach Kyle Shanahan called the issue "a little worse than a stinger," but the running back still "has a chance to go Sunday" versus the Packers, per David Lombardi of The Athletic. It stands to wonder if Mitchell will need to practice in some capacity Friday to do so, but the 49ers are prepared to roll out a reconfigured backfield with Raheem Mostert (knee) on injured reserve and JaMycal Hasty out for…read more

Not seen Thursday
Mitchell (shoulder) wasn't present at the start of Thursday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After getting banged up Week 2 at Philadelphia, Mitchell was diagnosed with what coach Kyle Shanahan called a shoulder injury that's "a little worse than a stinger," per David Lombardi of The Athletic. There's still a chance Mitchell gets cleared to play Sunday night against the Packers, as does Trey Sermon, who is in the concussion protocol but was limited Wednesday. Elsewhere in the backfield, Raheem Mostert had season-ending knee surgery after Week 1, and JaMycal Hasty is slated to miss…read more

Not practicing Wednesday
Mitchell (shoulder) won't take part in practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Mitchell was forced out of the 49ers' Week 2 win at Philadelphia with a shoulder concern, but he returned when fellow rookie running back Trey Sermon suffered a concussion. In the interim, tests have revealed that Mitchell's injury is "a little worse than a stinger," but he "has a chance to go Sunday" against the Packers, head coach Kyle Shanahan told David Lombardi of The Athletic. As the 49ers backfield currently stands, Raheem Mostert (knee) is on injured reserve, JaMycal Hasty has a…read more

Listed as day-to-day
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Mitchell (shoulder) is day-to-day, Josh Dubow of the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: Mitchell left Sunday's contest late in the fourth quarter, but he was able to return and finish the contest. The rookie appears to be the lead back for San Francisco after Raheem Mostert underwent season-ending surgery after sustaining a knee injury in the season opener. Fellow running backs Trey Sermon (concussion) and JaMycal Hasty (ankle) both suffered injuries Sunday that will possibly keep them out Week 3, so the 49ers are looking at recently acquired Trenton Cannon as the only healthy…read more

Briefly leaves game after starting
Mitchell (shoulder) rushed 17 times for 42 yards and caught both of his targets for 11 more yards in Sunday's 17-11 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Mitchell -- who debuted in a big way against Detroit last game -- got the nod as lead back following the news of Raheem Mostert's (knee) season-ending surgery earlier this week. The rookie rusher was forced to briefly leave the contest in the fourth quarter after suffering what appeared to be a shoulder injury, but he was able to return and finish the contest. After the game, head coach Kyle Shanahan stated that Mitchell appeared to have suffered a shoulder stinger, and the back will undergo an…read more

Shoulder injury confirmed
Coach Kyle Shanahan said the 49ers hope Mitchell merely suffered a shoulder stinger during Sunday's 17-11 victory at Philadelphia, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Mitchell missed some time in the second half Sunday, but his return was necessitated when fellow rookie Trey Sermon suffered what was eventually confirmed to be a concussion in the fourth quarter. The fact Mitchell was able to come back in the game bodes well for his health in the short term, and he again led the 49ers backfield in touches, with his 19 going for 53 yards from scrimmage. Aside from Mitchell and Sermon, JaMycal Hasty turned nine touches into 59 total yards before injuring his…read more

Back in Sunday's game
Mitchell (shoulder) returned to Sunday's contest in Philadelphia, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The 49ers may not have pressed their luck with Mitchell after he was diagnosed with a shoulder injury and deemed questionable to return, but fellow rookie Trey Sermon took a hit to the helmet on his first career carry (which was nullified by an Eagles penalty) and laid on the field for a spell before going to the sideline and eventually the locker room. It appears as if San Francisco will rely on Mitchell and JaMycal Hasty for the remainder of Week 2.

Picks up shoulder injury
Mitchell sustained a shoulder injury during Sunday's game in Philadelphia, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Mitchell didn't join his teammates for the 49ers' third possession of the second half, instead getting his shoulder looked at by the training staff, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. If Mitchell is unable to return, he'll finish Week 2 with 14 carries for 32 yards and two catches (on two targets) for 11 yards. JaMycal Hasty took over the primary RB role in Mitchell's absence.

To carry load Sunday
Mitchell is expected to head the 49ers backfield Sunday in Philadelphia, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Mitchell stepped in for an injured Raheem Mostert in Week 1 at Detroit and ripped off 104 yards and one touchdown on 19 carries. With Mostert on the shelf for the rest of the season following knee surgery, Mitchell has assumed the No. 1 spot on the depth chart, but he'll have to contend with JaMycal Hasty and third-round rookie Trey Sermon, the latter of whom was inactive last Sunday. Mitchell himself was selected in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, so his sudden rise seemingly has him on…read more

Set to lead backfield
Mitchell looks poised to lead the 49ers backfield in the wake of Raheem Mostert's season-ending knee injury, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Mostert lasted just four snaps and two carries before getting hurt this past Sunday at Detroit, which will require surgery and put a quick end to his campaign. With Trey Sermon, a 2021 third-round pick, inactive, the 49ers turned to rookie sixth-rounder Mitchell to lead the ground game, and he didn't disappoint. After 104 yards and one touchdown on 19 carries, Mitchell is atop the depth chart, but JaMycal Hasty (two touches, 18 yards and a TD in Week 1) and Sermon are nipping on his heels in a…read more

Set for expanded role
Mitchell's teammate, Raheem Mostert, is expected to miss about eight weeks with a knee injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Mostert exited Sunday's season opener after logging just two carries, and upon his exit Mitchell rushed 19 times for 104 yards and a TD. It was a strong enough performance to put him in the driver's seat to start this coming weekend's game against the Eagles, though it's possible rookie Trey Sermon -- who was a surprising healthy scratch Week 1 -- could re-enter the 49ers' backfield equation in short order, with JaMycal Hasty also in the mix.

Major surprise in Week 1
Mitchell rushed 19 times for 104 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-33 win over Detroit.
Analysis: Raheem Mostert (knee) went down to injury early in the contest, so Mitchell took over as the bell cow and had himself a fantastic Week 1. The sixth-round pick found himself in this position after fellow rookie Trey Sermon (who was drafted three rounds ahead of him) was a surprising healthy scratch. The only other healthy back on the roster, JaMycal Hasty, only received one carry and was used primarily as a receiving back. Mitchell certainly proved that he could handle starting duties against…read more

Playing over Sermon in opener
Mitchell is one of three running backs active Sunday for San Francisco's season opener in Detroit, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The fact that Mitchell, a rookie sixth-round pick, is dressing for Week 1 is probably less of a surprise than the fact that third-round rookie Trey Sermon is in street clothes, considering that Sermon had been operating as the No. 2 back for most of training camp and the preseason. It's unclear if Sermon's healthy scratch is specific to the 49ers' Week 1 game plan or something that will carry over to future contests, but regardless, Mitchell and JaMycal Hasty will be on hand as the reserve…read more

Makes preseason debut
Mitchell rushed six times for 24 yards in Sunday's 34-10 preseason win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Mitchell was serviceable in his first appearance as a pro. However, with Raheem Mostert, Trey Sermon, JaMycal Hasty and Wayne Gallman all excelling Sunday, it remains to be seen whether the rookie sixth-rounder has done enough to make the Niners' roster for Week 1's matchup against the Lions.

Back at practice
Mitchell (hip) returned to practice Wednesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Mitchell was scratched prior to the 49ers' preseason opener against the Chiefs and had been sidelined until his return to the field Wednesday. He's currently buried on the team's depth chart, but he projects as an intriguing prospect. He was the second back taken by San Francisco in the 2021 NFL Draft, after third-round selection Trey Sermon.

Will miss multiple weeks
Mitchell, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan, "will be out for a couple weeks" with an adductor strain, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Mitchell was a surprise scratch from the roster for Saturday's preseason opener against the Chiefs, and the reason for his absence is now known. He's an intriguing prospect for the 49ers, and one who could have made a preseason push, but he's a bit down the depth chart, so it's unlikely the team's early season running back rotation will be altered significantly.

Not anticipated to play Saturday
Mitchell is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Chiefs, according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Analysis: Mitchell was able to take part in the 49ers' last practice session prior to Saturday's contest, but he was listed among the players on the "Anticipated Will Not Play" list cited in the report. Regardless of the reason for Saturday's absence, he should have a chance to see his first action as a professional in the 49ers' second exhibition contest next Sunday against the Chargers.
