Mitchell (finger) will return to practice Wednesday as a limited participant, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Mitchell had surgery on his right middle finger last Tuesday and didn't practice last week or play in Sunday's win over the Jaguars. He has a shot to make it back for the 49ers' upcoming home game against Minnesota this weekend, though Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle suggests Mitchell still looks "iffy" to play. His return to practice is at least a step in the right direction.
