The 49ers will be without one of their starting offensive lineman for the fifth consecutive week. Starting right guard Spencer Burford is inactive for San Francisco’s Thanksgiving showdown with the Seattle Seahawks.
Starting left guard Aaron Banks will return from a toe injury he sustained in Week 8. Here’s who won’t suit up for San Francisco:
RG Spencer Burford (knee)
QB Brandon Allen (QB3)
RB Ty Davis-Price
LB Jalen Graham
TE Brayden Willis
DR Kalia Davis
OL Ben Bartch
Burford is working through a knee injury that cropped up in the lead up to Week 12. Head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated if the game was Sunday that Burford would be able to play, so for now the expectation is he’ll be in the lineup for Week 13 at Philadelphia.
Veteran OL Jon Feliciano is the likely candidate slide in at right guard. He filled in for Banks during his absence.
San Francisco has been without at least one offensive lineman every week since Trent Williams got hurt in Week 6. He missed Weeks 7 and 8, then Banks missed Weeks 10 and 11. Now Burford will be out for Week 12.
