Mitchell will replace Greg Newsome (hamstring) as the slot cornerback in Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. Newsome injured his hamstring late in last Sunday's loss to the Steelers and eventually landed on injured reserve. Mitchell, a fifth-round draft pick in 2023, was in a similar position during his rookie season, filling in for injured starters late in the season. He recorded 18 tackles, included 1.0 sacks, and two passes defensed last season and has played all 13 games in a depth role in 2024.

The Browns activated Mitchell (hamstring) to their active roster Saturday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports. Mitchell was designated to return from IR just three days ago, and Cleveland has already decided to activate him to its active roster. Even though the 22-year-old cornerback was activated Saturday, he's still listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. Mitchell has appeared in eight games for the Browns this season, recording nine total tackles and primarily playing on special teams.

The Browns selected Mitchell in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 142nd overall. Mitchell comes to Cleveland from Northwestern, where he shared a defensive backfield with 2021 first-rounder Greg Newsome. He stepped into a bigger role after Newsome left, starting all 23 games in which he played. At 5-foot-10 and 191 pounds, Mitchell could be an option as a slot corner for Cleveland.
