The San Francisco 49ers will have their full complement of defensive starters available for the NFC Championship Game.
San Francisco announced its inactives for its third successive conference title game, and starting SAM linebacker Oren Burks was not among them.
Burks had been questionable with a shoulder injury suffered in the week of practice, but his status provides a late pre-kickoff boost to a 49er defense facing a huge challenge from Detroit's high-powered offense.
49ers Inactives
The 49ers had elevated Curtis Robinson from the practice squad on Saturday, indicating that Burks' status was in serious doubt.
However, per NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco, the 49ers worked out Burks in pads during warmups, and they were obviously satisfied with what they saw.
Robinson is inactive as a result, while Willie Snead also misses out despite being elevated from the practice squad.
