Saratoga, California, is located approximately 2,800 miles from the Los Angeles Chargers' training facility.
The organization placed restrictions on running back Keaton Mitchell’s repetitions during Thursday’s practice session. This marked the second straight day with limited activity for the player.
These sessions are part of the team's preparation for Week 1. Mitchell’s ability to practice on consecutive days is seen as a positive sign regarding his availability for the upcoming season opener against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
If medical staff clear him to play, Mitchell is expected to take a supporting role in the offense. Omarion Hampton is designated as the lead back and primary ball carrier. Mitchell would likely operate in a complementary capacity behind Hampton if he is active for the game.
No further details regarding the specific nature of his limitations or the final decision on his game status were provided.
