Steelers S Mike Mitchell Lifting Weights Again With Surgically Repaired Shoulder

Even though he never missed a game last season, Pittsburgh Steelers safety Mike Mitchell was hampered most of the year with a shoulder injury that ultimately needed surgery to repair this past offseason.

On Thursday, Mitchell posted a video update on Instagram and it includes him being able to lift weights again now that he’s four months removed from his shoulder surgery.

Mitchell, who recorded a career-high 80 tackles last season in addition to registering 3 interceptions and 2 forced fumbles, will turn 29 years of age in a few more weeks. He is entering the third-year of the five-year, $25 million contract that signed as an unrestricted free agent in 2014.
