Spencer Burford - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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.
