Brandon Mitchell Off Crutches, Still Theoretically On Track For Oct. 12 Return

Dave Doeren had an update on Brandon Mitchell Monday, and the news is encouraging, though he has not yet been cleared to practice.

Doeren on Brandon Mithcell: "His last X-ray showed a lot of healing...he's off the crutches."

Doeren says there is "hope for next week" re: Brandon Mitchell. He's putting weight on the foot and running in the pool.

We'll know more once Mitchell finally gets back in practice...for now, it's probably best to consider a Syracuse return very much up in the air. There's a bye week after 'Cuse if he needs it, though I'm doubting he will.
