Guard Spencer Burford participated in the San Francisco 49ers' bonus practice on Monday, marking his return after being among the team's seven inactive players on Thanksgiving night against the Seattle Seahawks.
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.
As the 49ers gear up for the much-anticipated NFC Championship Game rematch with the Eagles in Philadelphia, they have three more practices scheduled—Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday sessions—before heading to the East Coast.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan is not scheduled to address reporters until Wednesday.
