49ers inactive list: No surprises; Deebo Samuel is active.
Photo by Michael Zagaris/San Francisco 49ers/Getty ImagesOren Burks isn’t a name that a person who doesn’t root for the San Francisco 49ers would know, but he played 20 snaps at linebacker in a playoff game against the Green Bay Packers.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted that Burks was unlikely to play with his shoulder injury. NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco contradicted that report as Burks worked out on the field pre-game. Burks is active for the game.
There weren’t any other surprises on the inactive list. Deebo Samuel isn’t on the injury report, and the only reason Nick Bosa and Trent Williams didn’t participate in practice this week was because they had veteran rest days.
