Rookie Cornerback Tevin Mitchel Likely Out For Year

Redskins rookie cornerback Tevin Mitchel, who tore the labrum in his left shoulder during Saturday’s practice, will undergo surgery and likely miss the entire season, Jay Gruden said.

Tevin Mitchel’s season is likely over before it even began.

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said Monday the rookie cornerback suffered a torn labrum in his left shoulder during Saturday’s training camp practice that will most likely require season-ending surgery.

Before suffering the injury, Mitchel was a possible candidate to get some early playing time at the cornerback position after Bashaud Breeland suffered a sprained MCL during Friday’s practice, keeping him out four to six weeks.
