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.

Impact Burford will miss the last two games of the 2024 regular season due to a calf injury he suffered against the Dolphins in Week 16.

Ruled out for Monday Night Football Burford (calf) won't play in Monday's Week 17 tilt against Detroit, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Impact Burford hurt his calf in last Sunday's loss to Miami and didn't practice in any capacity this week. His absence Monday further depletes an injury-riddled 49ers offensive line that may need to turn to recently signed veteran Charlie Heck at left tackle on Monday. Things will be even more dire for San Francisco against the Lions if right guard Colon McKivitz, who is questionable due to a knee issue, can't play.

Impact Burford missed all three of the 49ers' preseason games after breaking his hand in late July. He returned to individual drills in mid-August, and the 2022 fourth-round pick looks to be good to go for Monday's regular-season opener against the Jets after practicing in full Thursday. Burford is listed as the backup right guard on the 49ers' depth chart behind Dominick Puni.
