49ers' Oren Burks: Filling in for Greenlaw
Burks is expected to start at weak-side linebacker Sunday against the Browns, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Burks will draw the start with Dre Greenlaw (hamstring) inactive for Sunday's contest. Burks played a season-high 25 defensive snaps in Week 5 against the Cowboys and had five tackles (two solo) and an interception.

49ers' Oren Burks: Season-best outing Sunday
Burks recorded seven tackles (four solo) and one pass defended during Sunday's 31-14 victory against the Rams.
The 27-year-old played every defensive snap with starting weakside linebacker Dre Greenlaw (calf) ruled out ahead of this contest. Burks has played over twice as many special-teams snaps as defensive snaps over the course of his five-year career, and his playing time will drop off significantly if Greenlaw is able to return against the Chargers on Sunday, Nov. 13.

49ers' Oren Burks: Practices fully Thursday
Burks (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Burks suffered a knee injury during the 49ers' preseason finale against the Texans, but his ability to practice in full Thursday implies he's moved on from the issue. The fifth-year linebacker could be poised for an increased role during Sunday's matchup against the Bears if presumed starter Dre Greenlaw (elbow) is unable to gain medical clearance prior to kickoff.

49ers' Oren Burks: Questionable to return Thursday
Burks suffered a knee injury during Thursday's preseason game at Houston, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
After spending the 2021 season with the Packers, Burks joined the 49ers in March and just injured his knee during the 49ers' preseason finale against the Texans. With Curtis Robinson (ankle) out and Fred Warner, Dre Greenlaw and Azeez Al-Shaair not in uniform, it's likely San Francisco will rely on Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, Marcelino McCrary-Ball and Segun Olubi for the remainder of Thursday's contest.

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