The 49ers lost more than an ugly game in Chicago Sunday. According to ESPN's AdamSchefter, the team has reportedly lost their team-leading rusher from a year ago for an extended period this season.
49ers’ RB Elijah Mitchell is expected to be sidelined about two months with the sprained MCL that he suffered Sunday at Chicago, per league sources.
— Adam Schefter September 12, 2022Mitchell injured his right knee during the first half of the 49ers' 19-10 loss to the Chicago Bears at rain-soaked Soldier Field. Mitchell, a sixth-round pick out of Louisiana-Lafayette last year was a revelation for the 49ers in 2021. He rushed for a 49ers rookie record of 963 yards in 11 games for San Francisco, scoring six touchdowns while helping the team to the NFC Championship game.The loss of Mitchell propels Jeff Wilson Jr. as the likely candidate to pick up a majority of the load in the San Francisco running game until Mitchell's return.
