Mitchell (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell was on track to shed his injury designation by Friday after logging full practices on Wednesday and Thursday, but his limited participation heading into the weekend keeps his status for Week 14 somewhat up in the air. If he's forced to miss his second straight game, Robert Golden would likely start in his place at safety once again.

Mitchell (ankle) practiced without limitations Wednesday and is in line to start Sunday against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell has missed two of the Steelers' last three contests, but he should have a high snap count Sunday. However, the veteran safety is averaging just 4.2 tackles per game and is a tough start in most formats.

The Steelers have officially listed Mitchell (ankle) as doubtful for Monday's game against the Bengals, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barring a quick recovery, Mitchell is unlikely to suit up Monday. An absence would mark his third missed game of the season. J.J. Wilcox and Robert Golden would figure to see increased roles should he indeed miss the game.

Mitchell missed time in practice last week but still managed to play in Sunday's win over the Packers, logging 55 defensive snaps. Look for more updates to come over the next two days, with J.J. Wilcox the likely beneficiary should Mitchell be sidelined.

Mitchell (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell hurt his ankle last week against the Colts and didn't practice Monday, but took part in a limited fashion Tuesday and Wednesday. Fourth-year safety J.J. Wilcox will likely be tasked with filling in for him if Mitchell is ultimately ruled out.

Mitchell (ankle) was limited in practice Tuesday, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell was nursing an Achilles injury last week in practice and then was forced out of Sunday's win over the Colts due to an ankle issue, so it's safe to say the veteran defensive back is feeling a little beat up at this point in the season. Mitchell has not missed a contest all season, but the quick turnaround of Thursday night's game against the Titans could put that streak in jeopardy. If he is sidelined, look for J.J. Wilcox to pick up the spot start.
