San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan described Mitchell (finger) as "day-to-day" Monday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Shanahan relayed the news one day removed from Mitchell sitting out the 49ers' Week 11 win at Jacksonville due to a broken middle finger on his right hand. Mitchell underwent surgery on the appendage last Tuesday and didn't practice last week as a result. San Francisco gets back on the field Wednesday as it prepares for a visit from the Vikings on Sunday, but it remains to be seen if Mitchell makes the requisite progress in his recovery. Against the Jags, Jeff Wilson paced the 49ers backfield with 40 (of 69) offensive snaps and 20 touches, while Deebo Samuel (55 and nine, respectively), Kyle Juszczyk (38, one) and Trey Sermon (24, 11) were next up in the pecking order with JaMycal Hasty (ankle) also sidelined.
