Returning to action Week 12 Mitchell (finger) is active for Sunday's game versus the Vikings.
Impact 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 Sunday. Both Adam Schefter of ESPN and Jay Glazer on the Fox Sunday morning pregame show noted that Mitchell was poised to play and even start at running back in his return, and he'll do just that. In six previous starts this season, Mitchell averaged 17.7 touches for 88.2 yards from scrimmage per game and scored two rushing TDs.

Likely starter Mitchell (rib/finger) is going to play and probably start Sunday afternoon against the Vikings, Jay Glazer reported on the Fox Sunday morning pregame show.
Impact This fits with the earlier reports from other sources this week that he'd play, with the added confirmation that he'll start.
NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to play Sunday Mitchell (rib/finger), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Assuming he does play, Mitchell likely will retake lead duties out of the backfield, while Jeff Wilson and Trey Sermon would be the main candidates for complementary work with JaMycal Hasty (ankle) still sidelined.

Status in question for Week 12 Mitchell (rib/finger) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest versus the Vikings, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact 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. Assuming he's available this weekend, Mitchell likely will retake lead duties out of the backfield, while Jeff Wilson and Trey Sermon would be the main candidates for complementary work with JaMycal Hasty (ankle) still sidelined.
NOVEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Another limited practice Mitchell (rib/finger) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice report, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact 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.

Returning to practice Mitchell (finger) will return to practice Wednesday as a limited participant, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Impact Mitchell had surgery on his 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 upcoming home game against Minnesota this Sunday, though Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle suggests Mitchell still looks "iffy" to play. His return to practice is at least a step in the right direction.

Back-to-back wins get 49ers season back on track

The San Francisco 49ers appeared to hit rock bottom when they were embarrassed at home two weeks ago by backup quarterback Colt McCoy and the Arizona Cardinals
NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • Associated Press
Deemed 'day-to-day' Mitchell (finger) is considered "day-to-day" by coach Kyle Shanahan, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Shanahan relayed the news Monday, one day removed from Mitchell sitting out the 49ers' Week 11 win at Jacksonville due to a broken finger on his right hand. Mitchell underwent surgery on the appendage last Tuesday and didn't practice last week as a result. San Francisco gets back on the field Wednesday as it prepares for a visit from the Vikings on Sunday, but it remains to be seen if Mitchell makes the requisite progress in his recovery. Against the Jags, Jeff Wilson paced the 49ers backfield with 40 (of 69) offensive snaps and 20 touches, while Deebo Samuel (55 and nine, respectively), Kyle Juszczyk (38, one) and Trey Sermon (24, 11) were next up in the pecking order with JaMycal Hasty (ankle) also sidelined.
NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Inactive in Week 11 Mitchell (finger) is listed as inactive Sunday in Jacksonville, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.
Impact Mitchell emerged from Week 10 action against the Rams with a broken finger on his right hand that required surgery Tuesday. There was some optimism at the time that the rookie sixth-rounder would be available Sunday, but Mitchell didn't practice Wednesday through Friday and entered the weekend as doubtful to suit up. With his status for Week 11 now confirmed, the 49ers backfield will be down both Mitchell and JaMycal Hasty (ankle), leaving Jeff Wilson, Trey Sermon, Trenton Cannon and Kyle Juszczyk as the team's options at running back.

Elijah Mitchell Downgraded to Doubtful vs. Jaguars A full look at the 49ers and Jaguars final injury reports heading into the Week 11 matchup.
NOVEMBER 19, 2021 • 49ERS.COM
Doubtful for Sunday Mitchell (finger) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game in Jacksonville, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact It's been a roller-coaster week in terms of Mitchell's outlook, with early pessimism replaced by optimism Wednesday afternoon when coach Kyle Shanahan said he expected the running back to play. That was one day after Mitchell had surgery on his broken finger, and since then he's been held out of practice and limited to side work with the training staff. Fellow running back JaMyCal Hasty (ankle) is also ruled out for Sunday's game, leaving Jeff Wilson, Trey Sermon, Trenton Cannon and FB Kyle Juszczyk as the backfield options. Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News and David Lombardi of The Athletic both expect Wilson to get the start and presumably most of the carries, while Juszczyk has often handled third-down work when Hasty's been unavailable this year.
NOVEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Not practicing, looking shaky Mitchell (finger) isn't practicing Friday, instead working off to the side with a trainer, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that he expected Mitchell to bounce back from Tuesday surgery and play in Sunday's game at Jacksonville, while David Lombardi of The Athletic reports that GM John Lynch was less optimistic Friday morning in a radio appearance on KNBR. San Francisco beat writers seem to be more in line with Lynch, as Mitchell has now missed practice Wednesday through Friday. Lynch said the running back likely would be a game-day call, in which case the cross-country trip to Jacksonville becomes helpful to fantasy managers with the 49ers scheduled for 1:00 ET kickoff. Inman suggests Jeff Wilson likely will get the start if Mitchell can't go, with Trey Sermon the probable backup and FB Kyle Juszczyk potentially handling some passing downs. JaMycal Hasty (ankle) appears less likely than Mitchell to play, leaving Juszczyk, Wilson and Trenton Cannon as the passing-down options. Mitchell hasn't handled that role all year, and isn't likely to do so anytime soon given his recent finger surgery.
NOVEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
No practice yet this week Mitchell (finger) didn't practice Thursday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Impact Mitchell carried the load for the 49ers during a Week 10 win against the Rams, churning out 91 yards on 27 carries. Afterward, it was revealed he suffered a broken finger on his right hand during that contest, which necessitated a procedure to fix it. Mitchell subsequently has been held out of drills this week as he recovers, instead wearing a blue non-contact jersey on a side field, according to Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. No matter, coach Kyle Shanahan is of the belief Mitchell will be available Week 11 at Jacksonville. "I think he'll go Sunday," Shanahan told Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com on Wednesday. Friday's injury report ultimately will reveal Mitchell's potential to play this weekend, but with JaMycal Hasty (ankle) also hurt at the moment, Jeff Wilson, Trey Sermon and Trenton Cannon are the healthy options in the 49ers backfield.

Impact Shanahan's comments suggest Tuesday surgery on Mitchell's finger went well, with the running back now hoping to avoid missed time with his latest injury. There is some chance the finger impacts his workload, though it's arguably less of a concern for Mitchell than it would be for other running backs, as he's been targeted just nine times across 270 snaps in seven games. With JaMycal Hasty (ankle) also missing practice Wednesday, the healthy running backs in San Francisco are Jeff Wilson, Trey Sermon and Trenton Cannon.
