Burns (toe) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Burns has been sidelined for the Seahawks' last seven games after sustaining a toe injury in a Week 6 loss to the 49ers, but Wednesday's return to practice indicates he's almost past the issue. If activated to Seattle's active roster in time, Burns has a chance to play in Sunday night's matchup against the Packers, likely serving as a depth piece in the Seahawks' secondary.
