Elijah Mitchell Gains 46 Yards Before Getting Injured
2 years agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) carried the ball seven times for 35 yards in the Niners' 13-0 home win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 12. The 24-year-old also caught two passes for eight yards. He left the game in the third quarter with a knee injury and did not return. While Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan said he doesn't think the injury is as bad as the MCL sprain Mitchell suffered in Week 1, any injury brings back bad memories for 49ers fans and fantasy managers. The second-year running back only returned from that injury in Week 10. Monitor Mitchell's status ahead of his Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
