Elijah Mitchell Injury News
View AllElijah Mitchell Hits Season-Ending IR
The 49ers have surprisingly placed RB Elijah Mitchell on IR with no designation to return. That means he'll miss the season. It's surprising because his injury had merely been reported as a hamstring strain. We'll watch for more details on his situation.
Elijah Mitchell Out With Hamstring
49ers RB Elijah Mitchell has a hamstring strain and will miss about a week, per beat reporter David Lombardi. He’s already missed a couple of practices with the ailment. In a related move, San Francisco signed veteran RB Matt Breida on Tuesday. Breida managed just 2.7 yards per carry on 55 attempts for the Giants in 2023.
Christian McCaffrey won't play Week 18
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (calf) will not play vs. the Rams this weekend, HC Kyle Shanahan confirmed Monday. Shanahan called McCaffrey's injury a "mild calf strain." It's unclear if CMC would be able to play if this game meant something to San Francisco, but he was never going to suit up with the NFC's No. 1 seed clinched. He'll get three total weeks to heal up before the 49ers' playoff opener. We'll see about the team's backfield plans this weekend. RBs Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason are on the active roster, with RB Ty Davis-Price on the practice squad.
