“We’ll see how he is on Wednesday and just take it day by day.”Įric Branch covers the 49ers for The San Francisco Chronicle. “I’m not going to guess this week,” Shanahan said. Shanahan noted he’d been optimistic last week that Mitchell could play with his injury before he underwent surgery. Mitchell had a pin inserted to stabilize the middle finger on his right hand. The 49ers have turned the ball over five times this season, three more turnovers than the. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Mitchell “wasn’t close” to being able to play against the Jaguars and he wouldn’t have been able to participate if the 49ers had practiced Monday. The 49ers rack up 348.7 yards per game, 91.6 fewer yards than the 440.3 the Seahawks allow per matchup. Mitchell iffy: Rookie running back Elijah Mitchell’s status for Sunday’s game against the Vikings is uncertain after he missed last Sunday’s win at Jacksonville with a broken finger that was surgically repaired Nov. The status for 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell is uncertain heading into Sunday's home game against the Minnesota Vikings. The 49ers beat Seattle 26-21 in the 2019 regular-season finale to win the NFC West title. They have since met just twice in prime time, both in 2019.
The 49ers and Seahawks had the NFL’s fiercest rivalry in the early 2010s and met four times in prime time from 2012 through ’14.
The Seahawks are 15th in the NFC, ahead of only winless Detroit, and are 5.5 games behind the Cardinals. The 49ers are eighth, one spot out of a playoff position in the NFC, and they are 3.5 games behind division-leading Arizona (9-2), which swept their season series. The schedule change wasn’t a surprise, given it’s possible neither the 49ers nor Seahawks will qualify for the postseason for just the second time since 2009.
