Head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Mitchell (knee) has a chance to play in Thursday's game against the Bengals, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Mitchell practiced in full all week but wasn't activated from the PUP list ahead of Sunday's blowout win over the Broncos. He was designated to return from the PUP list Oct. 23, and Harbaugh's comments suggest that the running back could be ready to make his season debut Week 10. If Mitchell is activated for Thursday's contest, he'll likely serve as the team's No. 3 running back behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill.
