Overview
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Warner will practice in a limited capacity this week and is unlikely to play in Saturday’s divisional game at the Seahawks.
- Opening the window gives San Francisco 21 days to evaluate Warner on injured reserve before deciding on activation.
- Shanahan noted any return hinges on medical benchmarks such as sprinting and jumping and final clearance by team physicians.
- Warner, who dislocated and fractured his right ankle on Oct. 12 and had surgery shortly after, posted workout videos and said he feels ready if cleared.
- If the 49ers advance, the earliest realistic target discussed for Warner’s return is the NFC Championship Game.
