For the team’s second game against the Seattle Seahawks, the San Francisco 49ers will be without Spencer Burford, their starting right guard. The offensive lineman, a sophomore, sustained a knee injury against the Philadelphia Eagles that prevented him from practicing during the entire week.
As a result, he was listed as doubtful for the weekend. Due to a problem with his other knee, Burford was unable to play in the 49ers Thanksgiving night game against Seattle. Like in that Week 12 encounter, San Francisco will rely on offensive lineman Jon Feliciano, a seasoned swing player, to replace Burford.
The 49ers signed wide receiver Chris Conley to the 53-man roster in order to have him available for this game. Wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III (rib), who was originally ruled out of the Week 14 game, was placed on the Injured Reserve list on Saturday afternoon.
In a corresponding move, the team promoted wide receiver Chris Conley to the active roster, and he will be active versus the Seahawks. Conley has already been elevated three times this season, reaching the season limit permitted for practice squad players.
