The 49ers may be without running back Elijah Mitchell for the rest of the regular season. Head coach Kyle Shanahan on Monday told reporters the MCL sprain Mitchell sustained in the team’s 13-0 win over the Saints will keep him out six-to-eight weeks.
Shanahan immediately after the game said the team was hopeful Mitchell avoided a significant sprain like the he sustained in the season opener that knocked him out for seven games.
