The Philadelphia Eagles signed veteran running back Elijah Mitchell on Tuesday.

Mitchell, 28, adds to the Eagles' running backs depth chart headed by three-time Pro Bowl selection and 2024 first-team All-Pro Saquon Barkley and including Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley, Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele.

The San Francisco 49ers selected Mitchell in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He played three seasons for the 49ers, totaling 1,523 yards and nine touchdowns on 327 attempts in 28 regular-season games (12 starts). He added 237 rushing yards and two TDs in eight playoff games (two starts) before missing the entire 2024 season because of a hamstring injury.

Mitchell played in one game for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025 before he was waived in December and signed to New England's practice squad. The Patriots signed him to a future contract in February, then released him in April.
