49ers' Spencer Burford: Could return for Week 9

Burford (knee) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

Burford has been sidelined since Week 3 but has been practicing for the last two weeks. He practiced in full all week leading up to Sunday's matchup against the Giants, suggesting he should be in line to return. However, Burford officially remains questionable and his status will not be clear until shortly before kickoff.
