3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (concussion, knee) missed practice on Wednesday after missing practice all of last week and not playing in the Week 14 overtime win over the Cincinnati Bengals. With Mitchell out, Jeff Wilson Jr. saw 13 carries for 56 yards, with receiver Deebo Samuel also carrying eight times for 37 yards and a touchdown. Wilson hasn't been very efficient with his touches this year, and he'll likely continue to lose valuable carries to Samuel against the Atlanta Falcons if Mitchell is unable to gain clearance for the second straight week. When healthy, Mitchell has been the clear workhorse back for the Niners, so the first-year running back would return to RB2 territory if he returns to practice later this week and is active on Sunday.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
