This opens up a three-week window for Mitchell to practice with the team before he has to be added to the active roster.
Mitchell was placed on injured reserve earlier this season as well. This ends his second stint.
Mitchell, 24, was a sixth-round pick out of Louisiana by the 49ers in the 2021 draft. He signed a four-year rookie deal with the team in May of that year worth $3,663,568, including a $183,568 signing bonus.
In 2022, Mitchell has appeared in four games for the 49ers and rushed for 224 yards on 40 carries (5.6 YPC) and no touchdowns. He’s also added seven yards receiving on three catches.
