Who Should I Start? James Mitchell or Charlie Kolar

Friday, January 12, 9:37 PM

Detroit Lions tight end James Mitchell (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's Wild-Card matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Mitchell was limited in practice on Thursday, but ended up missing Friday's session. The Lions have decided to rule him out for this contest, which normally doesn't mean too much. However, Sam LaPorta (knee) has been banged up, but he was able to get through a full practice on Friday. Fellow tight end Brock Wright appears ready to play, so the absence of Mitchell won't make much of an impact.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Charlie Kolar (arm) has been placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. As expected, Kolar is going to miss significant time after breaking his arm during last week's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Kolar has a chance to return before the end of the regular season, but we'll wait and see how he progresses. The absence of Kolar won't mean too much for this offense going forward. It should mean a few more snaps for Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews down the stretch of the season, but should only give some a slight uptick in value.
