Elijah Mitchell Questionable To Face Eagles
Published: Jan 27, 2023 at 10:30 PM
San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (groin) is listed as questionable to play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in the NFC Championship game. Mitchell took part in Friday's walkthrough practice after missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but there's a chance he could be out or limited this weekend. We'd be surprised if the 24-year-old didn't play, but he could be less effective in an already tough matchup on limited touches behind lead back Christian McCaffrey. In the team's two postseason game, Mitchell has 23 carries for 53 yards and no touchdowns while adding two catches for 25 yards. He'll be a touchdown-dependent, low-cost DFS sleeper against Philly. If Mitchell is out, rookie Jordan Mason would likely operate as CMC's backup.
