Mitchell has recently been getting most of the first-team reps at slot corner during training camp, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Mitchell, the rookie first-round pick by the Eagles, has seemingly captured the starting slot corner job from seven-year veteran Avonte Maddox. Mitchell primarily played at outside corner at Toledo, but Philadelphia already has Darius Slay, Isaiah Rodgers and Kelee Ringo at that position. Mitchell started Friday's preseason game against the Ravens at outside corner before being bumped to the slot, and head coach Vic Fangio said Sunday that it would "be ideal" for the rookie corner to focus his workload on one position. Mitchell played 30 snaps Friday (24 on defense, six on special teams) and finished with one pass defended and zero tackles.
