Last season, Mitchell played with a groin injury that required post-season surgery. This year, he's out with a hamstring injury. What does this mean for Mitchell and the Steelers?
In early 2014, safety Mike Mitchell had just finished his fifth year in the league, and his career appeared to be on the upswing. Mitchell tallied 66 tackles, 3.5 sacks, eight passes defensed and four interceptions the year before with the Carolina Panthers. When he joined the Steelers organization for the 2014 season, the former second-round draft pick out of Ohio should have been a boon to the organization.
