49ers Temper Fred Warner Return Hopes Ahead of Divisional Trip to Seattle

Coach Kyle Shanahan says the odds of a return designation this week are "not very high."

Overview

  • Warner remains on injured reserve after suffering a broken and dislocated right ankle in Week 6 against the Buccaneers.
  • He was seen working on the side at practices before San Francisco's Wild Card win over the Eagles, signaling rehab progress.
  • FOX Sports' Jay Glazer has reported Warner is ahead of schedule and could be a possibility for the NFC Championship if the 49ers advance.
  • The earliest realistic target for any return now hinges on two more playoff wins and medical clearance.
  • San Francisco is also without tight end George Kittle after an Achilles tear in the Eagles game, adding strain to the roster.
