For one game, he actually looked like the Mitchell from 2 years ago. He had some injuries though.

This is the first time he kind of looked like himself. Lets hope it continues into the playoffs. We can take some load off CMC and keep him healthy for the Super Bowl.

he BEST look like his old self, he's gonna be carrying the ball 27 times next week !!

I liked how Kyle kept putting him out at WR too. He's actually a good receiver too if you throw to him.

Grear point. If he can be CMC lite, that's great depth going into the playoffs.

Show some dam respect. He won't get hurt until Wednesday's practice.

Wiffed horribly on his protection block and averaged 3.7 a carry...

Meanwhile mason averaged 6 a carry again this game and had to pick up a couple short yardage loaded boxes.

Mitchell needs a demotion... He would normally be okay as a backup behind CMC but mason has and is still so much better and higher potential.

OMG ITS FRANK GORE and MITCHELL my favorite runningbacks!

i forgot frank gore is a personell advisor... i wonder what he has to say..

I thought he played well despite the YPC. The pass protection play highlighted on the telecast was the biggest problem. He ran hard and found positive yards, like he always does.

People are so manic about this guy. He's a very good running back and can catch + pass block very well.
Did he get hurt?

Not during the LAR game, but there's two weeks of practices coming up so no guarantee he'll be healthy for the Divisional game.

If this dude can ball out and stay healthy we can keep CMC fresh hopefully for the SB

I agree, we got three great rbs..not worried...but stay healthy though.

We at least have him for the divisional game, so he'll already relieve CMC some.

SB CMC touches the ball 30+ 😆

That's very likely. Kyle is going to ride him as long as possible, no doubt.
I like the potential of Mitchell, but I'd be looking for a replacement- 5th to 7th round or UDFA.
His performance is fine.

His availability has been the issue.

I'd lighten his load and use Mason more.
