Looks strong off bye
Mitchell rushed 18 times for 107 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Colts.
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). Coach Kyle Shanahan said Garoppolo will return to the starting lineup once he's physically able, so if Garoppolo returns after…read more

Cleared for Sunday
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Mitchell (shoulder) will play Sunday against Arizona, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. Mitchell was a full participant in Friday's session after taking limited reps Wednesday and Thursday, according to Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site.
Analysis: Mitchell missed the 49ers' last two games with the right shoulder injury, allowing rookie Trey Sermon to get a look as the team's lead back. 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

Remains limited, but taking contact
Mitchell (shoulder) was limited at Thursday's practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Like last week, Mitchell has logged limited sessions so far this week. Unlike last week, he's gotten rid of his blue non-contact jersey, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. Mitchell continues to work his way back from a shoulder stinger suffered Week 2, which has sidelined him the past two games. If he's able to gain clearance to play Sunday, it's unclear if he'll be able to retake the No. 1 spot on the running back depth chart, or if he'll share the load with Trey Sermon, who has started in…read more

Puts in limited practice
Mitchell (shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After sitting out Week 3, Mitchell logged limited sessions during Week 4 prep, but he donned a non-contact jersey in each one and was deemed inactive this past Sunday against the Seahawks. It's unclear if he ditched the blue jersey, as expected, but he may just be ramping his reps this week as he puts his shoulder stinger further in the rearview mirror. Mitchell has two more practices to go to bump up to full activity, at which point the 49ers will have a better indication of his status for…read more

Likely to take contact this week
Mitchell (shoulder) is expected to practice without a blue non-contact jersey this week, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Analysis: After sitting out Week 3 due to a shoulder stinger, Mitchell was able to return to the practice field last week in a non-contact jersey, logging three limited sessions in the process. It wasn't enough to gain clearance for game action this past Sunday versus the Seahawks, which allowed Trey Sermon to dominate the backfield work for a second straight contest and record 19 carries for 89 yards on a 51 percent snap share. On Wednesday, it appears Mitchell will take one of the final steps in his…read more

Missing second consecutive game
Mitchell (shoulder) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Seahawks, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: Mitchell's Week 2 shoulder injury was considered "worse than a stinger" by coach Kyle Shanahan at the time. Shanahan noted during Week 4 prep that Mitchell's availability would come down to pain tolerance, and the rookie sixth-round pick won't be able to give it a go just yet. While Mitchell misses a second consecutive game Sunday, Trey Sermon and fullback Kyle Juszczyk likely will handle the bulk of the backfield reps yet again. Beyond that duo, Trenton Cannon and Jacques Patrick are on hand…read more

Not expected to play Sunday
Mitchell (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, isn't expected to play in the contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Official confirmation of the running back's Week 4 status will arrive once inactives are posted in advance of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. If Mitchell is indeed unavailable, Trey Sermon would once again be in line for an expanded role in the 49ers' backfield.

Hoping to play through pain
Mitchell (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle, with coach Kyle Shanahan suggesting the running back's availability could come down to pain tolerance, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Shanahan said he doesn't doubt Mitchell's pain tolerance and would consider it "pretty impressive" if the rookie ends up playing, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. That might be nice for Mitchell to hear, but for fantasy managers it's a sign that the running back could be limited or ineffective even if he's able to suit up. With Mitchell out last week, Trey Sermon took a team-high 10 carries for 31 yards and a touchdown while playing 59 percent of snaps on offense, often giving way to FB…read more

Still wearing non-contact jersey
Mitchell (shoulder) is wearing a non-contact jersey at Friday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: This is his third consecutive day in the jersey and likely the third straight day he'll be listed as a limited practice participant. Mitchell's availability for Sunday against Seattle remains uncertain, with a 'questionable' designation and game-time decision looking like a possibility at this point. It remains to be seen how the Niners list Mitchell on their final injury report Friday afternoon.

Logs another limited session
Mitchell (shoulder) was limited at Thursday's practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: For a second session in a row, Mitchell was donning a blue no-contact jersey, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. The cautious approach from the 49ers makes sense with Mitchell recovering from a right shoulder injury that was considered "worse than a stinger" and already sidelined him for one game. He'll get one more shot to put in a full practice this week before the team likely places a designation on the running back's status for Sunday's contest against the Seahawks. If Mitchell is able…read more

Mitchell (shoulder) will practice in a limited capacity Wednesday, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: As head coach Kyle Shanahan suggested Monday, Mitchell is getting back on the field Wednesday after sitting out Week 3 with the right shoulder injury. The 49ers will see how Mitchell responds to the increased practice reps as he attempts to put himself in a position to play this Sunday against the Seahawks. If he's able to return, he'll likely team with Trey Sermon to head the 49ers backfield with both Raheem Mostert (knee) and JaMycal Hasty (ankle) on injured reserve. There's also a chance…read more

Looking to practice this week
Coach Kyle Shanahan is hopeful Mitchell (shoulder) takes part in practice this week, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: In particular, Shanahan told Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle that he's "hoping for better signs" that Mitchell is able to suit up Week 4 against the Seahawks after sitting out this past Sunday versus the Packers with what he considered "worse than a stinger" in the running back's right shoulder. With Mitchell sidelined and Raheem Mostert (knee) and JaMycal Hasty (ankle) on IR, Trey Sermon (59 percent of offensive snaps) and Kyle Juszczyk (69 percent) handled all the running back…read more

Not suiting up Week 3
Mitchell (shoulder) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Packers, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: It comes as no surprise that Mitchell will sit out after enduring what coach Kyle Shanahan called "worse than a stinger" in the running back's right shoulder last Sunday at Philadelphia. Shanahan acknowledged Friday that Mitchell likely would have been ruled out for Week 3 if not for the banged-up nature of the team's backfield, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. With Mitchell inactive and Raheem Mostert (knee) and JaMycal Hasty (ankle) on injured reserve, the 49ers likely will hand over most of the…read more

Nearly ruled out
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Analysis: Mitchell was serviceable in his first appearance as a pro.

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.

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.
