Tevin Mitchel Out for Season With Torn Labrum
Cornerback Tevin Mitchel, the Redskins 6th-round pick in this years draft, has a torn left labrum according to Redskins Head Coach Jay Gruden.
Gruden said rookie CB Tevin Mitchel's shoulder surgery will likely keep him out for the entire season.

Gruden said Mitchel’s shoulder injury will require surgery that will likely end his 2015 season before it begins. Gruden wasn’t sure if the procedure would take place in Richmond or back closer to Redskins Park.
Mitchel injured his other labrum while playing at Arkansas. That injury cost him a portion of his college playing days, and likely a round or two in the draft process.
The injury leaves the Redskins lacking in depth, rookies Justin Rogers and Kyshoen Jarrett will likely get more chances. The Redskins already lost second-year cornerback Bashaud Breeland for four to six weeks with a sprained MCL this past weekend.
Mitchel will be placed on injured reserve, which will open another roster spot up on the 90-man list for the Redskins.
