49ers' Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) not expected to play in preseason

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) is not expected to be available for any preseason games, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

What It Means:

Mitchell is dealing with a hamstring injury that will "likely" prevent him from playing in any of the 49ers' preseason games. He is expected to be ready for Week 1's clash with the Chicago Bears. Should Mitchell miss time, Jeff Wilson, Trey Sermon, and Tyrion Davis-Price could see an increase in opportunities.

Mitchell is the RB21 in numberFire's preseason fantasy projections. Our models expect him to produce 1004.5 rushing yards, 152.9 receiving yards, and 9.40 total touchdowns.
