Keaton Mitchell - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Off injury report Friday Mitchell (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After being limited Wednesday and Thursday and wearing a walking boot earlier in the week, Mitchell's full practice suggests the ankle issue won't keep him out Sunday. The Chargers should have their No. 2 running back available behind Omarion Hampton, preserving Mitchell's complementary role.

Limited in Thursday's practice Mitchell (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact For the second day in a row, Mitchell had his reps capped while he manages a left ankle injury. So long as he doesn't take a step back in activity during the Chargers' final practice of the week Friday, Mitchell should still be on track to suit up Sunday against the Seahawks. Through the team's first three games, Mitchell has carried 17 times for 85 yards (5.0 YPC) while adding four receptions for 10 yards and a touchdown in a complementary role behind lead back Omarion Hampton.

Dealing with ankle injury Mitchell (ankle) was a limited participant at the Chargers' practice Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Mitchell was spotted with a walking boot on his left leg, and the Chargers updated their injury report to reflect the running back as limited Wednesday. Mitchell likely suffered the left ankle injury during Wednesday's session, but he didn't express much concern about the injury, and the running back will have two more chances this week to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks. If he is unavailable for Week 4, Kimani Vidal would serve as the top reserve option behind starter Omarion Hampton.

Increased usage in Week 3 Mitchell rushed eight times for 52 yards and caught all three of his targets for minus-five yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Bills.

Impact Mitchell found himself far move involved on offense in Week 3, nearly matching his previous season total of nine carries while the three targets matched a career high. The running back reached paydirt in the first quarter, reeling in a one-yard pass from quarterback Justin Herbert. Mitchell remained the team's second option out of the backfield behind starter Omarion Hampton, but he proved that he could have standalone fantasy value if he gets more consistent touches moving forward.

Efficient with limited touches Mitchell rushed five times for 24 yards and caught his only target for 15 yards during Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders.

Impact Mitchell operated as a distant No. 2 option in the backfield, logging 17 snaps on offense while starter Omarion Hampton was on the field for 43 of the team's 68 offensive snaps. Mitchell was able to make the most of his opportunities, averaging 4.8 YPC while reeling in his first catch of the season. The running back also added 47 yards on two kickoff returns in the contest. Mitchell has shown enough to be worth a stash in deeper fantasy leagues, but he will continue to have a limited ceiling as long as Hampton is active.

Unimpressive in Chargers debut Mitchell rushed four times for nine yards in a Week 1 loss to Arizona on Sunday. He added 47 yards on two kickoff returns.

Impact Mitchell had a long rush of eight yards but combined for just three yards on his other three carries. While he also contributed in the return game, it was a bland Chargers debut for the 24-year-old, who joined Los Angeles as a free agent in March. The Chargers' run game as a whole was largely stifled Sunday, as Omarion Hampton -- the only other RB on the team to log a carry -- finished with a mediocre 43 yards on 12 carries, though he did score a touchdown. Mitchell will look to make more of an impression in Week 2 versus Las Vegas next Sunday.

Cleared from injury report Mitchell (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact After logging limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Mitchell got a full session in Friday and thus appears ready to go for Week 1. Mitchell is an intriguing option in an offense ran by Mike McDaniel, but his injury slowed him for much of the past three weeks, so it's unclear exactly how he will slot in behind starter Omarion Hampton and fellow reserve Kimani Vidal.

Stays limited in practice Mitchell (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact The Chargers put a cap on Mitchell's reps for a second straight day, but his ability to practice in any capacity on consecutive days to kick off Week 1 prep is an encouraging sign for his chances of playing in Sunday's season opener.

Limited Wednesday Mitchell (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Mitchell returned to practice earlier this week, and a limited session to open the week gives him a good chance to take the field Sunday against the Cardinals. Mitchell is expected to serve as the big-play complementary back behind Omarion Hampton this season. He's worthy of a bench stash in most fantasy leagues.

Returns to practice Monday Mitchell (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After six straight missed practices, Mitchell's return is a positive step for his Week 1 outlook against the Cardinals. When healthy, Mitchell is expected to serve in a sort-of lightning role to Omarion Hampton's thunder out of the backfield. Mitchell may not be immediately usable in fantasy leagues as a starter, but he's one of the higher-upside bench stashes to see what his role is under new OC Mike McDaniel, who personally campaigned for Mitchell's signing in Los Angeles.

Remains out of practice Thursday Mitchell (undisclosed) remained a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact With Mitchell now having missed six straight practices, his status for Week 1 against the Cardinals is starting to come into question. If he's unable to go against Arizona, Kimani Vidal would settle in as the likely RB2 behind Omarion Hampton. Mitchell will need to get back on the field in some capacity next week if he's going to have a chance to suit up for the regular-season opener.
