Mitchell isn't necessarily out for the season, and he will be eligible to return in eight weeks. As NFL Network's Ian Rapoport pointed out, the Patriots' trades for Phillip Dorsett and Brandin Cooks seem more important now.

Mitchell began to develop rapport with Tom Brady last season as a rookie. He caught 32 passes for 401 yards and four touchdowns last season.

Now, the Pats will rely on Cooks, Dorsett, Danny Amendola, and Chris Hogan at receiver.
