Elijah Mitchell's placement on Injured Reserve, without designation to return, signifies not only the end of his 2024 season but potentially the conclusion of his tumultuous tenure with the 49ers.
Since being drafted, Mitchell has shown flashes of brilliance but has been plagued by injuries, playing only 27 of a possible 51 games in his first three seasons, which may lead to disappointment for the team and fans.
Despite his struggles, Mitchell's quick ascent as a rookie with 963 rushing yards and five touchdowns framed expectations that his absence will be keenly felt by the 49ers, who recognized his past productivity.
With the 49ers now deciding on their active roster, Mitchell's future hangs in the balance as he is set to hit free agency, possibly leading to a buyout and becoming an unrestricted free agent.
