49ers place Elijah Mitchell (knee) on injured reserve on Tuesday
San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was placed on the injured reserve on Tuesday.
What It Means:
With the expectation Mitchell will miss around two months, the 49ers brought in Marlon Mack to their practice squad while working out with six running backs including Devonta Freeman. Look for Jeff Wilson to take over the majority of San Francisco's backfield in Week Two's matchup versus a Seattle Seahawks' rush defense rated second by numberFire's power rankings.
Wilson's current Week Two projection includes 13.0 rushing attempts for 53.8 yards and 1.4 receptions for 10.3 yards.
