Chargers RB Keaton Mitchell didn't participate during the portion of Thursday's practice open to media, according to ESPN's Kris Rhim. That's 6 straight missed practices for Mitchell with an undisclosed injury.

We still don't have any details on this injury, but Mitchell's availability for the season opener is in doubt. The Chargers didn't place him on short-term IR, so they at least expect him back before Week 5.
Mitchell remains a fine bench stash at his 13th-round ADP but shouldn't be in your early-season plans.
His absence could mean a few extra touches for RB Omarion Hampton in an excellent Week 1 spot vs. the Cardinals.
