Burford has been dealing with a knee injury and did not practice last week, which had a shorter preparation time due to the Thursday matchup. Both he and the 49ers' other starting guard, Aaron Banks, were listed as "questionable" against Seattle. However, Banks played, making a comeback from a turf toe injury.
