Dealing with knee issue Mitchell was forced out of Sunday's game against the Saints due to a knee injury.

Impact Mitchell dealt with knee irritation during the stretch run of last season and also sat out Weeks 2-8 of this year due to an MCL sprain in his right knee. The current concern will keep him sidelined for the rest of Week 12, capping him at seven carries for 35 yards and two catches (on two targets) for eight yards. Jordan Mason will move up to No. 2 on the RB depth chart for the 49ers behind Christian McCaffrey for as long as Mitchell is sidelined.

Jimmy Garoppolo, 49ers put league on notice in blowout over Cardinals

Leads 49ers in rushing Mitchell rushed the ball nine times for 59 yards in Monday's 38-10 win over Arizona.

Impact Mitchell led the team in both rush attempts and yards while averaging an efficient 6.6 yards per attempt. All of those marks are deceiving however, as Mitchell had only one carry at halftime and saw the majority of his work when the game was a blowout and the outcome hardly in question. He remains the insurance to Christian McCaffrey, but Mitchell's volume on a weekly basis will be hard to rely upon.

Elijah Mitchell's return adds another playmaker to potent 49ers offense

Game-high 89 yards in return Mitchell (knee) rushed 18 times for 89 yards and lost one yard on his lone reception (two targets) in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Chargers.

Impact Mitchell returned to action after going down with a knee injury in the first game of the regular season. The 24-year-old looked to be in midseason form despite the lengthy layoff, as he paced the team in carries (18) and rushing yards (89) fresh off of injured reserve. Christian McCaffrey (18 touches for 77 yards and a score) still did his thing as the running backs nearly split touches. CMC figures to be the featured back -- in addition to handling most receiving work -- but the 49ers' former starter could carve out value if he continues to see double-digit touches. Make sure Mitchell is rostered ahead of next Monday's tilt against the Cardinals.

Activated, ready to play The 49ers activated Mitchell (knee) from injured reserve Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Impact Head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated earlier in the week that Mitchell was on track to rejoin the 53-man roster, locking in the talented second-year back as the backup to Christian McCaffrey. It'll be interesting to see how the 49ers use Mitchell alongside the new Panthers import, as it's possible the duo could both see a plethora of carries with McCaffrey taking every opportunity on passing downs.

Impact The 49ers may wait until Saturday to make their Week 10 transactions official, with Mitchell and three others expected to be reinstated from IR. There was a time not so long ago when Mitchell's return would have been a leading fantasy headline for the week, but he's likely looking at a limited change-of-pace role now that the 49ers have Christian McCaffrey. If nothing else, Mitchell is worth keeping on fantasy benches for what he might do in the event of a McCaffrey absence later this season.

Designated to return from IR The 49ers designated Mitchell (knee) to return from IR on Monday, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.

Impact Mitchell sprained his MCL during the season opener and has been on IR since. Jeff Wilson replaced him at first, but the 49ers have since traded Wilson to the Dolphins after acquiring Christian McCaffrey from the Panthers. With the move, Mitchell will return to practices ahead of Week 10, and San Francisco opened a 21-day window for the running back to be added to the active roster. However, it doesn't sound like Mitchell will remain sidelined for much longer, as Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports reported last week that Mitchell has been eyeing a return to action against the Chargers in Week 10. Regardless, when Mitchell eventually returns, it's possible he'll be limited at first, and even when he's back to full speed, he'll operate as the No. 2 back behind McCaffrey.

NOVEMBER 1, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Aiming to play in Week 10 Mitchell (knee) is seeking to return to action Sunday, Nov. 13 against the Chargers, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Mitchell has been sidelined since spraining the MCL in his right knee in the season opener. Since then, the 49ers rode Jeff Wilson in the backfield until the recent acquisition of Christian McCaffrey. After two games with McCaffrey on the roster and Mitchell getting healthier by the week, the team opted to deal Wilson to the Dolphins on Tuesday, paving the way for Mitchell to be the No. 2 running back, when healthy. Mitchell will have the benefit of a Week 9 bye to do so, but San Francisco also needs to make the procedural move of designating him for return from IR in order to reintegrate him into practice. How he fares on the field next week will determine whether or not he joins McCaffrey as an RB option for coach Kyle Shanahan in Week 10.
