Mitchell (hamstring) doesn't appear on Wednesday's injury report.
EDGE Analysis
Contrary to what head coach Mike Tomlin said yesterday, Mitchell's absence from the injury report suggests the safety's availability for this weekend's season opener isn't in question. Provided his health cooperates the rest of the week, look for the veteran to open Sunday's tilt against the Browns in his usual starting position.

Mitchell (hamstring) is listed as questionable to play Sunday against the Browns, Dave Lolley of the Washington Observer-Reporter reports.
EDGE Analysis
It seems that Mitchell has been battling his hamstring all preseason. Head coach Mike Tomlin expressed his optimism that Mitchell would be ready to go. If he is unable to play, expect sixth-year safety Robert Golden to fill in until he's healthy.

Mitchell (knee) does not appear on the Steelers' injury report Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell briefly exited Sunday's matchup against the Bills with a left knee injury. Considering he ultimately returned to the game, coupled with his absence from the team's first practice report of the week, suggests the Steelers' starting free safety won't be forced to miss any additional time.

Mitchell tallied six combined tackles and added one pass defended during the Steelers' 38-16 win over the Redskins on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell was all over the field for the Steel Curtain on Monday. The 29-year-old came into the 2016 season nursing shoulder and hand ailments, but his performance Monday silenced any skepticism surrounding his health. After playing 98 percent of defensive snaps in Week 1, Mitchell figures to have cemented his spot in the Pittsburgh secondary for the 2016 campaign.

Mitchell (shoulder) is ahead of schedule in his recovery from shoulder and hand surgery, The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell hasn't missed a game either of the past two seasons, but underwent shoulder surgery this offseason to repair a torn labrum that seemed to plague him during the conclusion of the 2015 campaign. The veteran went under the knife in December, and initially planned on taking his rehab slow, so to not take any risks before training camp, but he quickly progressed ahead of schedule in his recovery, and fully participated in June's minicamp just over four months removed from surgery. Mitchell should be full-go for the commencement of training camp come July 28.
