San Francisco 49ers Running Back Listed As Questionable Ahead Of NFC Title Game

The San Francisco 49ers have been the best team in the NFC in the back half of the 2022 season, and after two solid wins this post-season, they'll take on the best team the NFC had to offer this year in the Philadelphia Eagles in what's expected to be one of the biggest heavyweight clashes in recent times.

Unfortunately for the Niners, they've been dealing with some injuries issues all week, and while Christian McCaffrey has been cleared to compete, the same can't be said for his backfield partner, as Elijah Mitchell has officially been listed as Questionable ahead of the game.

Since his return, Mitchell has been in more of a supporting role due to the performance of McCaffrey, but he has still been a valuable part of this offence, and if San Francisco can have both healthy, it will significantly increase their chances.
