On a different note:
Even though Mitchell didn’t know the Eagles were going to play him inside this summer, he’s embraced the challenge.
“No, I didn’t know it,” he said. “But they threw it at me, so I was like, let’s take it on, let’s do it.”
It’s worth noting that fellow rookie [Cooper DeJean](Cooper DeJean (DB) Stats, News, Rumors, Bio, Video - Philadelphia Eagles - Yahoo Sports) has missed all of training camp so far with a hamstring injury that’s expected to keep him out another couple weeks. Some of these nickel reps might have gone to DeJean if he were healthy, but he’s a little behind right now.
Both Mitchell and DeJean were draft targets for many in the Den (including myself), but I’m glad the Lions have Terrion Arnold.
