49ers inactives: RB Elijah Mitchell, RG Spencer Burford officially ruled out vs. Seahawks

The injury bug caught up with the 49ers heading into their Week 14 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. Of their seven inactive players,  five are out because of injury.

Here’s who won’t suit up for San Francisco:

QB Brandon Allen (QB3)
DL Robert Beal Jr.
DL Arik Armstead (knee, foot)
TE Ross Dwelley (ankle)
RB Elijah Mitchell (knee)
CB Darrell Luter Jr. (hamstring)
OL Spencer Burford (knee)

Mitchell and Burford were both considered doubtful going into Sunday and now they’ve been officially ruled out.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan originally indicated Mitchell was dealing with some knee soreness, but his absence all week in practice and during Sunday’s game are a sign there may be more than general soreness. There’s been no official diagnosis for the RB.

Burford was a little banged up going into Week 13, but played through it. Now he’s dealing with a different knee injury that will keep him out this week.
