I will reserve judgment until his second year. Look how Pierce improved in year 2.

Shane Steichen on AD Mitchell’s Playing Time vs. the Chargers

(By Paul Bretl)

***********************************



AD Mitchell will be back in the lineup this week against the LA Chargers.

"I've had multiple conversations with AD over the last couple of weeks, and he's been working hard, progressing in the right direction," Steichen said via Colts.com. "He'll be up this week."

Last Sunday against Arizona, Mitchell was a healthy scratch. The week before, against Las Vegas, he played just six snaps, and that was a product of the Colts pulling many of their starters late in the game.

All of this was a result of Mitchell's touchdown-turned-fumble against the LA Rams.

However, the Colts are currently dealing with several injuries at wide receiver, with both Josh Downs and Ashton Dulin already ruled out for Sunday's game.

“This is a physical game, but a lot of it’s mental, too," Shane Steichen said of Mitchell. "You gotta be mentally strong in certain situations and things are going to come up during the season that sometimes you don't want to happen to you. It happened and it is what it is, but he’s bounced back the right way. He’s been in the right mindset and continues to grow and learn and learn from those mistakes."

Mitchell will presumably be the Colts' third wide receiver, alongside Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce. It's possible Laquon Treadwell could be elevated from the practice squad to bolster the depth of this group as well.

While active, it remains to be seen how many opportunities will come Mitchell's way. This is a game where we could see a heavy dose of two or even three tight end sets from the Colts against the Chargers' defensive front.

What Mitchell brings, however, is an impressive combination of speed and route running, allowing him to make an impact at all levels of the field. Skill set-wise, Mitchell adds a unique skill set to the Colts' offense, but consistency continues to be what he is chasing.

With the Colts traveling to LA, this game will be taking place at SoFi Stadium, the same place where Mitchell's fumble occurred.

Cut the fucking guy some slack. He's on this team and I for one hope that he turns from being an ass to being an asset. This team has sucked for quite a few years and I'm ready for the Colts to become a dynamo like they were in Manning's years. We need all the assets we can muster.
