The Blitz: How Kyle Shanahan and the Battered 49ers are Thriving

Ready for MNF Burford (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Monday night's game against the Colts.

Impact Burford was able to upgrade to a full participant in Friday's practice, just in time to dodge any injury designation ahead of Monday's contest. The starting left guard will be all set to block for quarterback Brock Purdy and running back Christian McCaffrey as the team attempts to win out in the hopes of acquiring the top seed in the NFC.

Dealing with knee injury Burford suffered a knee injury in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Saints, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Impact Burford is considered day-to-day for the time being as the 49ers need to see how the initial healing goes for the 25-year-old. Trent Williams returned to action in Week 2, so Burford was operating as a reserve option, which makes his potential absence in Week 3 against the Cardinals carry less of an impact.
