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.
On Saturday afternoon, wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III (rib), who was initially declared ineligible for the Week 14 game, was added to the Injured Reserve list. Wide receiver Chris Conley was promoted to the active roster by the team in retaliation, and he will play against the Seahawks. The 49ers had to sign Conley to the 53-man roster in order to have him available for this game because he has already been elevated three times this season and has reached the season limit allowed for practice squad players. San Francisco will probably platoon Ronnie Bell, Kyle Juszczyk, and Deebo Samuel to fill in for McCloud III as a return specialist.
Here’s a look at the 49ers Week 14 inactives:
