"Despite the linebacker's refusal to rule out that he could be back from a fractured and dislocated right ankle as soon as Saturday night against the Seattle Seahawks, the San Francisco 49ers are sticking with the original plan to potentially activate him for the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 25 if they can advance. Coach Kyle Shanahan has maintained all along that the Niners were targeting the NFL's final four for any possible Warner comeback."
"Warner offered at least some optimism Wednesday when asked whether his return might come as early as Saturday in Seattle. He said he was taking it "day by day" and pointed out that the 49ers opened his 21-day practice window this week even after initially saying they wouldn't. From there, Warner was his usual, energetic self on the practice field and participated on a limited basis for the second day in a row."
Fred Warner suffered a fractured and dislocated right ankle and has been on injured reserve. The 49ers opened his 21-day practice window and had him participate in limited practice work this week. Coach Kyle Shanahan said Warner will not be activated for this week's game but remains targeted for potential activation for the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 25 if the team advances. Warner expressed cautious optimism, saying he is taking the process day by day. Warner practiced in shorts without a helmet during the media portion of the session as the team managed his workload.
