49ers rule out Elijah Mitchell against the Titans

We will have to wait another week to see the 49ers' offense at total capacity. Starting running back, Elijah Mitchell was ruled out with a knee injury. I’m curious whether Mitchell would have played had the Niners Week 16 matchup been played on a Sunday.

Jeff Wilson will start in Mitchell’s place. Wilson found the end zone for the first time against the Falcons and also eclipsed 100 yards. There’s a chance Trey Sermon plays. The 49ers opened Sermon’s practice window Tuesday. The team has three open spots on their active roster, so there wouldn’t have to be a corresponding move for Sermon.
