Running back Elijah Mitchell on Saturday officially become the eighth and final 49ers player to be activated off of the team's injured reserve list this season.
Mitchell is expected to be in uniform on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals in the regular-season finale at Levi’s Stadium.
The 49ers also elevated veteran cornerback Janoris “Jackrabbit” Jenkins and defensive lineman Michael Dwumfour from the practice squad to be available to play against the Cardinals.
Mitchell sustained a knee injury in the 49ers’ Nov. 27 game against the New Orleans Saints to land him on IR for the second time this season.
In four games (one start) this season, Mitchell has 224 yards rushing on 40 attempts for a 5.6-yard average. He also has three catches for seven yards.
Mitchell was the 49ers’ leading rusher last season as a rookie, gaining 963 yards in just 11 games.
Veteran running back Christian McCaffrey, whom the 49ers acquired in an Oct. 21 trade from the Carolina Panthers, is the 49ers’ sixth different leading rusher in six seasons with Kyle Shanahan as coach.
