Keaton Mitchell, a running back for the Los Angeles Chargers, was a limited participant in the team's practice session on Thursday. This marked the second consecutive day that the organization placed restrictions on his number of repetitions.
The team began Week 1 preparation with these limited sessions. Mitchell's ability to engage in practice activities on back-to-back days is viewed as a positive indicator regarding his availability for the upcoming season opener. The Chargers are scheduled to face the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
If medical staff clear Mitchell to play against the Cardinals, he is expected to assume a supporting role in the offense. The primary ball carrier for the team is Omarion Hampton, who is designated as the lead back. Mitchell would likely operate in a complementary capacity behind Hampton if he is active for the game.
No further details regarding the specific nature of his limitations or the final decision on his game status were provided in the report.
