Overview
- GM John Lynch said Warner’s rehab is ahead of the initial timeline, prompting the team to revisit the possibility of a postseason appearance.
- NFL Network reports indicate a chance of a limited cameo in the NFC Championship Game or, more plausibly, Super Bowl LX, though a return remains unlikely.
- Any appearance would likely be spot duty, with team and medical staff emphasizing objective clearance benchmarks and the risk of re-injury.
- Warner sustained a fractured and dislocated right ankle on Oct. 12 and had surgery shortly after, with typical recovery estimates of roughly 4–6 months.
- Securing the No. 1 seed by winning out against the Bears and Seahawks would provide a first-round bye that could improve the odds; Tatum Bethune continues to start in Warner’s place.
