The San Francisco 49ers will have at least one of their starting guards available to face the Seattle Seahawks.

Practice squad elevations for interior linemen Corey Luciano and Jesse Davis suggested that both Spencer Burford (knee) and Aaron Banks (toe) could miss out on the crucial NFC West encounter.

But Banks will see a two-game absence come to an end after he was officially listed as active for the Thanksgiving nightcap.

Inactives Observations

It became clear in pregame warmups that Banks would, in fact, be involved as he was seen jogging from tunnel in his game pants.

His presence provides a massive boost to Brock Purdy, fortifying an interior that would have looked very patchwork without him.

Banks will reprise his left guard role, with the man who filled in for him during his absence, Jon Feliciano, likely set to flip to the right side with Burford out.

Burford being unavailable is no surprise. He did not practice this week and Kyle Shanahan indicated on Tuesday the game would come too soon for him.

Ben Bartch was only signed off the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad on Tuesday so has not had enough of an acclimation period to be active. Luciano and Davis will serve as the backups on the interior.
