"Fred has been working incredibly hard. He's been attacking it every which way and he's making really good progress. I've said this consistently: It would be well ahead of the original timeline that we were given but Fred has the ability to move the doctors, because they're going to put objective measurements out there that, If you can reach these, you can get there.' And Fred has continually done that."
"SANTA CLARA George Kittle and Fred Warner, the 49ers' most celebrated captains, are both rehabilitating ankle injuries with their availabilities very much uncertain. For Kittle, he's battling a short recovery timeline to play Sunday night when the 49ers (11-4) host the Chicago Bears (11-4). For Warner, he's two months into an encouraging comeback from ankle surgery and is making the 49ers re-examine his potential for a late-playoff return. General manager John Lynch updated each player's health in his weekly segment Friday morning on KNBR."
Both 49ers captains are rehabilitating ankle injuries with availability uncertain. George Kittle is attempting a short recovery to play Sunday night against the Chicago Bears but faces a tight timeline. Fred Warner is two months into recovery from ankle surgery and is progressing ahead of the original timeline, meeting objective measures that have prompted medical re-evaluation of a possible late-playoff return. The organization is focused on improving for playoff seeding while weighing the risk of playing valuable contributors now versus preserving them for deeper postseason games. Both players remain under active assessment.
