Freddie Mitchell

9/2/2005

Mitchell has been released by the Kansas City Chiefs. The receiver had been limited since suffering a slight meniscus tear in his right knee during the first week of training camp, but recently resumed working out with the team. Because of his limited time on the field, he did not have an opportunity to make an impression and move up the Chiefs' depth chart.

Mitchell looked very good in practice on Monday, according to head coach Dick Vermeil, and barring any setbacks, he will make his Chiefs debut in Friday's preseason finale against the St. Louis Rams. The receiver has been limited since suffering a slight meniscus tear in his right knee during the first week of training camp.

Mitchell hasn't had a chance to get into the flow of things with the Kansas City Chiefs, as he's been limited most of training camp with a slight meniscus tear in his right knee. According to head coach Dick Vermeil, there's a good chance that the former Eagles receiver likely won't make the 53-man roster.

According to Chiefs head coach Dick Vermeil, Mitchell should resume practicing within the next week or so. The receiver elected to forgo arthroscopic surgery to repair a slight meniscus tear in his right knee -- an injury suffered early in training camp -- opting for rest, strengthening and rehab instead.

Upon further review, Mitchell has elected to forgo arthroscopic surgery to repair a slight meniscus tear in his right knee. The wide receiver instead will take 7-10 days to rest the injury, with the hope of returning for the final stretch of Chiefs training camp. Doctors in Atlanta, where Mitchell had traveled to seek a second opinion, told the former Eagle that surgery would keep him sidelined for the better part of four weeks.

8/1/2005

Mitchell will undergo arthroscopic surgery on Monday after injuring his right knee in training camp on Saturday. He has been diagnosed with a possible tear in the lateral meniscus. The wide receiver, who was acquired by the Chiefs during the offseason after being cut by the Eagles, will likely be out for 2-3 weeks, which means he will miss a majority of camp.

6/18/2005

The Kansas City Chiefs signed free agent receiver Freddie Mitchell to a one-year, $540,000 deal on Saturday, just one day after the team announced that Az-Zahir Hakim had changed his mind and would not join the club. Mitchell, who requested and was granted his release from the Philadelphia Eagles last month, caught 22 passes for 377 yards and two touchdowns in 2004.

6/4/2005

The Kansas City Chiefs will bring Mitchell in for an interview and workout next week. This is Mitchell's first visit with a team since being released by the Eagles in early May, although his agent has reportedly received priliminary inquiries from other teams.

5/6/2005

In an expected move, the Philadelphia Eagles cut their ties with Mitchell on Friday. The receiver, who was the 25th overall pick in the 2001 NFL Draft, has made some questionable off-field comments during his time in the league, which likely contributed in part to his release. In addition, he has failed to live up to expectations. In 63 career games, Mitchell has 90 catches for 1,263 yards and five touchdowns.
