Elijah Mitchell's Status Depends On Pain Tolerance
3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell's (shoulder) status for the Week 4 game against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks will depend on pain tolerance. Mitchell is listed as questionable, but the team will see where he's at when he tests out his injury on Saturday. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said the team will give Mitchell "as long as he can" to get ready. The 23-year-old has a chance to play after sitting out last week, but he is a very risky fantasy commodity this week with the game being the late afternoon. And even if Mitchell is active, he could have a limited workload alongside fellow rookie Trey Sermon and fullback Kyle Juszczyk. Mitchell is more of an RB4/flex this week as a likely game-time decision.
