49ers' Spencer Burford: Full participant in practice

Burford (knee) was a full participant in San Francisco's practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Burford has been sidelined since suffering a knee injury in the Week 2 win over the Saints but is now closer to making his return. The 25-year-old was designated to return from injured reserve on Oct. 22, and he should have a chance to play in Sunday's matchup versus the Giants.
