Patriots wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell won’t play Saturday night against the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Divisional Playoff.
Mitchell practiced Thursday but was not activated off injured reserve by the 4 p.m. Friday deadline to be eligible for the Pats playoff opener at Gillette Stadium.
If the Patriots win, they’ll have until Wednesday at 4 p.m. to activate Mitchell for the AFC Championship Game.
Mitchell, after an impressive rookie season in 2016, has been on IR all season with a knee injury.
