Mitchell (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Super Bowl against the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell's knee problem kept him limited during practice this week, but like most of his teammates on the injury report, the rookie is anticipated to be cleared to play Sunday. Although Mitchell has caught only one of four targets for four yards in the playoffs, his presence figures to add valuable depth to Tom Brady's targets.

Mitchell (knee) was limited at Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell is in no real danger of missing Sunday's Super Bowl, though he's a speculative fantasy play in the contest. In two playoff outings thus far, Mitchell has caught just one pass (on four targets) for five yards, while working behind fellow wideouts Julian Edelman and Chris Hogan.

Mitchell (knee) was limited at practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell should be fine for the Super Bowl after logging 48 (out of a possible 74) snaps on offense in the Patriots' win over the Steelers in the AFC championship game this past Sunday. In two playoff contests thus far, Mitchell has caught just one pass (on four targets) for five yards and thus represents a speculative fantasy play, while working behind fellow wideouts Julian Edelman and Chris Hogan.

Mitchell (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's AFC championship game against the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie wideout, who last suited up Dec. 24, profiles as a speculative fantasy play Sunday after missing a stretch of game action. Moreover, Mitchell will be competing with Chris Hogan and Danny Amendola for looks in the New England passing game behind Julian Edelman, the team's target-gobbling wideout.

Mitchell (knee) is expected to play in Sunday's AFC championship game versus the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

If he indeed avoids the inactive list, Mitchell will be making his first appearance since Week 16. With nearly a month to rehab a knee injury, the rookie wideout could be a breath of fresh air to the passing game. However, Julian Edelman and Chris Hogan (thigh) typically receive the most snaps among Patriots wideouts on any given Sunday, thereby hindering Mitchell's potential.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell, who last suited up Dec. 24, is "trending in the right direction this week," according to ESPN's Mike Reiss, but the rookie wideout remains a speculative fantasy play after missing time, while competing for targets (behind top wideout Julian Edelman) with Danny Amendola, Michael Floyd and Chris Hogan, who is battling a thigh issue.

Mitchell (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

CSN New England relays that Mitchell is "feeling well" as Sunday's AFC Championship game against the Steelers approaches, but it's still likely that the rookie wideout will end up officially listed as questionable for the contest. If he does end up returning to action this weekend, Mitchell would be in line, along with Danny Amendola and Michael Floyd, to jostle for wideout snaps behind Julian Edelman and Chris Hogan.

Mitchell (knee) is listed as inactive Saturday against the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell continues to deal with the residual effects of a knee injury suffered in Week 16, managing limited practices after a first-round bye. The Patriots will thus exercise caution with their rookie wide receiver, but in the event they advance to the AFC championship game, there's a sense of optimism within the organization that he'll be available next weekend, according to Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald. With Mitchell sidelined, Tom Brady will lean on wideouts Julian Edelman, Chris Hogan, Michael Floyd, and Danny Amendola.

Mitchell (knee) is not expected to play in Saturday's playoff game against the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell injured his knee in Week's 16 win over the Jets, and is the only Patriots' player on the team's injury report heading into Saturday's tilt. Michael Floyd and/or Danny Amendola figure to be in line to see additional wideout snaps behind Julian Edelman and Chris Hogan in Mitchell's expected absence.

Mitchell (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's playoff game against the Texans, CSN New England reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell, who suffered a knee injury in Week's 16 win over the Jets, is the only New England player with an injury designation this week, so he's no lock to return to action Saturday after being inactive in Week 17. If he's unable to suit up, Michael Floyd and/or Danny Amendola would be in line to see added wideout snaps behind Julian Edelman and Chris Hogan.
