Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) not spotted at start of practice

Sep 23, 2021

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell was not spotted at the start of practice.

Fantasy Impact:

Mitchell missed practice on Wednesday and will need to practice in some fashion on Friday to avoid missing Sunday's contest against the Green Bay Packers. The 49ers signed Jacques Patrick to the 53 man roster and Chris Thompson to the practice squad. Trey Sermon practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday, so he appears to have cleared the league's concussion protocol. If this is the case, he will likely be the Week 3 starter if Mitchell cannot go. Mitchell is currently our 19th ranked running back for Week 3 as Kyle Shanahan has expressed optimism that Mitchell would be able to go on Sunday despite the shoulder injury being more severe than initially hoped. Sermon, Patrick, and Trenton Cannon are currently the only healthy backs on the 49ers roster.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
