When can N'Keal Harry practice?

According to pro football reference, Mitchell started in 6 games that year due to the injury situations of other WRs.

In those 6 games:

2 catches for 33 yards
2 catches for 7 yards
4 catches for 98 yards *
8 catches for 82 yards *
1 catch for 14 yards
3 catches for 29 yards

*Two of three of his best games, the other being the SB comeback (6 catches for 70 yards).

In 4/6 starts, he had 33 yards or less. The legend of Malcolm Mitchell has grown due to coming up big in the comeback, particularly on one drive where he had a few clutch catches.
Right, similar to Meyers production and situation now. Thing is, if we came into 2016 with Mitchell being counted on to be one of the top options and Brady having nothing better to throw at I bet his stat line is around the same as Dobson's rookie year

I’m sure that it would be very similar, yes. My point was more to show that Harry has a reasonable path at similar production than to discredit Mitchell, although I do think some here get carried away with what they remember for Mitchell’s season.

Mitchell's a fairly typical example of what people call rookie success, and your citing to his numbers illustrates why people here shouldn't be relying on Harry to be any kind of savior. 32 catches on 48 targets is nice, but it's what we should be looking at for the top end, and he had a total of 6 catches in the team's first 7 games. He actually had more than half of his season's catches in a 3 game span.

It would be awesome if Harry gave us an Anquan Boldin rookie season (101 catches as a rookie) type of second half. But outliers are outliers for a reason.

If he gave us 101 catches in half a season, that would indeed be pretty awesome.
