Unlikely to play Sunday Burks (shoulder) is not expected to suit up for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Burks sustained a shoulder injury during Thursday's practice that left him questionable to play on San Francisco's final injury report. While the nature of this issue is still unclear, the 28-year-old looks like he'll miss Sunday's playoff game.

He also played 19 defensive snaps during last week's divisional-round win over Green Bay.

Headed to San Francisco Burks agreed to a two-year, $5 million contract with the 49ers on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact 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.
