Overview
- FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reported Warner has exceeded rehab benchmarks and could be in play if San Francisco reaches the NFC Championship Game.
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan called any commitment "too far off" but acknowledged a potential return only in a third postseason game.
- Warner, out since Week 6 with a dislocated and fractured right ankle, was seen doing light running during practice last week.
- He remains on injured reserve and will not play in Sunday's Wild Card game at Philadelphia.
- As the NFC No. 6 seed, the 49ers would need consecutive wins for the scenario to materialize, raising the stakes around medical clearance.
