According to head coach Kyle Shanahan, the San Francisco 49ers have opened the practice window for running back Elijah Mitchell, which was expected for this week.
Mitchell is attempting to return from his second MCL sprain of the season. The first occurred during the regular-season opener on September 11, 2022. He suffered his latest injury against the New Orleans Saints on November 27, 2022. The running back remains on injured reserve.
The 49ers are preparing for their regular-season finale. They will host the Arizona Cardinals at Levi's Stadium on Sunday.
San Francisco made Mitchell a sixth-round draft pick out of Louisiana in 2021. The second-year running back has racked up 224 rushing yards on 40 carries (5.6 yards per carry) through his four game appearances this season.
