Elijah Mitchell, Ross Dwelley Ruled Out For 49ers
12 months agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) and tight end Ross Dwelley (ankle) have both been ruled out for Sunday's contest versus the Arizona Cardinals in Week 15. Mitchell will now sit out his second straight game. Jordan Mason had an expanded role in San Fran's backfield with Mitchell out in the Week 14 win over the Seattle Seahawks and even punched in a three-yard touchdown for his third rushing score of the season. However, Mason played only 11 percent of the offensive snaps and just isn't going to see much action behind workhorse Christian McCaffrey to warrant a starting spot in fantasy lineups. The 25-year-old Mitchell will now rest up and hope to return for a Week 16 showdown in San Fran against the Baltimore Ravens.
