Burbridge was released off the team's injured reserve list on September 12 after an injury settlement was reached. The 49ers had placed him on injured reserve 10 days earlier due to a knee injury.

He appeared in 16 games with three starts during his rookie campaign and caught seven passes for 88 yards with 15 tackles on special teams. Burbridge spent the 2017 season on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury.
The 49ers Communications staff provided the following additional information about Burbridge:

In four years with the Spartans (2012-15), he played in 51 games (23 starts) and tallied 165 receptions for 2,174 yards and 10 touchdowns. His 165 career receptions ranked 2nd in school history, behind only WR B.J. Cunningham (218).
