Mitchell (hip) returned to practice Wednesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Mitchell was scratched prior to the 49ers' preseason opener against the Chiefs and had been sidelined until his return to the field Wednesday. He's currently buried on the team's depth chart, but he projects as an intriguing prospect. He was the second back taken by San Francisco in the 2021 NFL Draft, after third-round selection Trey Sermon.
