49ers Say Fred Warner Unlikely for Seahawks Playoff Game as Rehab Advances

Practice-window rules plus a short week make an activation doubtful.

Overview

  • Head coach Kyle Shanahan said the chances of designating Warner to return before Saturday’s divisional game in Seattle are “not very high.”
  • Warner said on a podcast that he feels ready, is doing full football drills, and will play once he gets final approvals.
  • Reporters observed Warner doing light sprinting and on-field work, underscoring steady progress since his Week 6 ankle injury.
  • To be eligible, the 49ers must open his practice window to complete on-field work, a process complicated by this week’s compressed schedule.
  • FOX SportsJay Glazer reported Warner is ahead of schedule, with a possible return targeted for the NFC Championship if San Francisco advances.
