Patriots' Malcolm Mitchell underwent 'procedure,' not surgery

New England Patriots wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell underwent a "procedure" on his troublesome knee but not a surgery, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

What It Means:

The "procedure" is intended to accelerate Mitchell's healing but the Patriots still want to trade him. Mitchell turned 25 last Friday.

numberFire's models only projected Mitchell for 21.9 targets this season, so this doesn't move the needle much.
