Sep 23, 2024 5:06 pm: Mitchell did not have a reception and had just one target in Sunday's win over Chicago.
Analysis: With Josh Downs returning from a high ankle sprain, Mitchell moved to a reserve role. He played just seven snaps on offense and fell behind Alec Pierce who played on 43 of the offense's 56 snaps. He even played less than Ashton Dulin (14 snaps). Mitchell appeared to have won the third receiver role over Pierce in the preseason, but Pierce has had several big plays the first three games while Mitchell had a crucial drop in Week 2. It may take some time before Mitchell finds a prominent role in the offense again barring injuries to the top three receivers.
