Head coach Tim Polasek indicated that Mitchell (ankle) is around 85-to-90 percent and hopes to return by Week 6, per Bison Report.
Analysis:Mitchell was held out of North Dakota State's matchup against Wyoming on Saturday due to an ankle sprain, but it seems he may be in position to return against UNLV next week. The 5-foot-9 running back had previously run for 214 yards and three touchdowns across four contests for the Bison prior to his injury.
