Season-best outing Sunday
Burks recorded seven tackles (four solo) and one pass defended during Sunday's 31-14 victory against the Rams.
Analysis: The 27-year-old played every defensive snap with starting weakside linebacker Dre Greenlaw (calf) ruled out ahead of this contest. Burks has played over twice as many special-teams snaps as defensive snaps over the course of his five-year career, and his playing time will drop off significantly if Greenlaw is able to return against the Chargers on Sunday, Nov. 13.

Practices fully Thursday
Burks (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Burks suffered a knee injury during the 49ers' preseason finale against the Texans, but his ability to practice in full Thursday implies he's moved on from the issue. The fifth-year linebacker could be poised for an increased role during Sunday's matchup against the Bears if presumed starter Dre Greenlaw (elbow) is unable to gain medical clearance prior to kickoff.

Questionable to return Thursday
Burks suffered a knee injury during Thursday's preseason game at Houston, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: After spending the 2021 season with the Packers, Burks joined the 49ers in March and just injured his knee during the 49ers' preseason finale against the Texans. With Curtis Robinson (ankle) out and Fred Warner, Dre Greenlaw and Azeez Al-Shaair not in uniform, it's likely San Francisco will rely on Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, Marcelino McCrary-Ball and Segun Olubi for the remainder of Thursday's contest.

Headed to San Francisco
Burks agreed to a two-year, $5 million contract with the 49ers on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Burks was drafted by the Packers in the third round of the 2018 Draft, but he never garnered a significant defensive role during his time in Green Bay. Last year, he played a career-high 196 snaps and recorded 36 tackles (24 solo) and half a sack over 17 appearances. He'll likely provide depth behind Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw while also being a top special-teams contributor for the 49ers in 2022.

Activated ahead of Week 17
Burks was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.
Analysis: Burks made a quick return to the active roster after hitting the list Tuesday. He'll likely fill a predominantly special-teams role against the Vikings on Sunday.

Hits COVID list
Burks (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, as a result of testing positive for the virus, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Burks' potential absence Sunday against the Vikings would put a dent in the Packers' linebacker depth. Playing a rotational role this season, Burks has 29 tackles (21 solo) on the season.

Helps fill in for injured starter
Burks put up three tackles (two solo) and a half sack in Sunday's 30-28 victory over the 49ers.
Analysis: Burks tallied just nine defensive snaps over the first two weeks of the season, but he nearly tripled that mark Sunday, playing 25 snaps after starting inside linebacker Krys Barnes left the game with a concussion. Burks did record a sack over his first three seasons as a professional, but he finally made a mark in that department in his 45th career game.

Leading tackler in win
Burks finished with a team-high six tackles (four solo) and a tackle for loss in Thursday's 34-17 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Green Bay's defense spent most of the game watching the Packers' offense dominate en route to a 34-3 lead before giving up a pair of largely meaningless scores in the final five minutes. Burks played a larger role in Green Bay's depleted linebacking core in this one, bringing his season tackle total up to 14.

Practices without limitations
Burks (groin) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Burks was limited by his lingering groin injury as recently as Wednesday, but he's now returned to full health. The 2018 third-round pick looks set to handle a starting role at inside linebacker against the Vikings on Sunday.

Still dealing with injury
Burks is dealing with a groin injury and was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Burks was dealing with an undisclosed issue that was keeping him out of training camp, but, as evidenced by this news, he had his injury clarified. Burks has a promising chance to start at inside linebacker for the team this campaign when healthy, especially considering both Curtis Bolton (knee) and Kamal Martin (knee) will start the season on injured reserve.

Misses practice Sunday
Burks (undisclosed) watched Sunday's practice from the sidelines, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Burks exited Saturday's practice early, but there's no indication of what the linebacker is dealing with. Heading into his third season, Burks has a good chance to secure a starting role, but he'll need to get healthy first to hold off promising rookie Kamal Martin and Ty Summers.

Plays reserve role in 2019
Burks had 11 tackles (seven solo) in 12 games this season.
Analysis: The 2018 third-round pick missed the first four weeks of the season with a partially torn left pectoral, but he returned for Week 5 and played a minor defensive role the rest of the season. Green Bay's top inside linebackers -- Blake Martinez and B.J. Goodson -- are both poised to hit free agency in March, leaving Burks, Ty Summers and Curtis Bolton (knee) as the remaining players at the position. Burks could enter training camp with a heavily increased role with a strong offseason, but the…read more
