The 49ers are resting their top three linebackers against the Texans, but now they find themselves very thin at the position following injuries to linebacker Oren Burks and Curtis Robinson.
Burks is questionable to return with a knee injury. Robinson, who’s also missed time with a groin issue, has been ruled out per the 49ers.

With both of those players banged up and none of the three starters suited up, the 49ers are down to a Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, Marcelino McCrary-Ball and Segun Olubi at that spot.
