49ers' Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) missing from practice
San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) was not seen during the portion of Thursday's practice that was open to the media.
What It Means:
Mitchell is dealing with a shoulder injury he suffered last Sunday and his status is in doubt for Week 3 versus the Green Bay Packers. Trey Sermon is expected to clear the concussion protocol and he would be the 49ers' likely lead back on Sunday night if Mitchell is sidelined. Trenton Cannon and Jacques Patrick, who was just promoted from the practice squad, are the only other two backs on the active roster.
The 49ers have earned the second-best team grade for run blocking this season from Pro Football Focus. The Packers run defense is No. 22 in numberFire's advanced team rankings and No. 18 in terms of FanDuel points allowed per game to the running back position.
