San Francisco 49ers standout linebacker Fred Warner has returned to the practice field this week, though he won’t rejoin the lineup just yet. Warner hasn’t dismissed the possibility of playing on Saturday in the Divisional Round against the Seattle Seahawks, but the 49ers plan to potentially activate him for the NFC Championship Game, should they advance. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed this after Thursday’s practice, expressing confidence in the plan. Warner suffered a fractured and dislocated right ankle on October 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, undergoing surgery shortly after. The injury typically requires three to six months for recovery, leaning towards the latter for athletes. Despite his swift recovery, the 49ers remain cautious, noting he must meet additional benchmarks before returning. Warner is demonstrating his potential to play again this season, overcoming an injury that usually rules out such a quick return. Whether he plays again depends on the 49ers advancing past the Seahawks on Saturday.
