3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (concussion, knee) missed practice on Wednesday with "knee irritation" in addition to being in the league's concussion protocol. It doesn't sound like the 23-year-old's knee injury is all that serious, but Mitchell shouldn't be considered a lock to play in Week 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday. Jeff Wilson Jr. tweaked his knee last Sunday, but he was able to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday. Mitchell has been San Fran's unquestioned workhorse back when he's active, so he needs to be in all fantasy lineups if he's cleared to play later this week. In the meantime, those that roster Mitchell or are desperate for RB help this week need to add Wilson as insurance.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
