Rotowire
Burford (hand) was a full participant in Thursday's practice session, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Burford missed all three of the 49ers' preseason games after breaking his hand in late July. He returned to individual drills in mid-August, and the 2022 fourth-round pick looks to be good to go for Monday's regular-season opener against the Jets after practicing in full Thursday. Burford is listed as the backup right guard on the 49ers' depth chart behind Dominick Puni.
