Mitchell’s been sidelined for four games now, with a fifth coming up on Saturday against the Edmonton Eskimos.

“I would target Montreal,” Mitchell said. “It’s the game I’m supposed to be back, so that’s my plan as of right now. I think that’s Dave’s plan as of right now. God forbid anything happens to (backups Nick Arbuckle and Montell Cozart), I could rush back for Winnipeg (on Aug. 8) but Nick’s playing great. Offence is moving the ball.
