San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner is attempting a late-season comeback following a severe ankle injury suffered in October. While head coach Kyle Shanahan initially aimed for a return during the NFC Championship, Warner has not dismissed the possibility of playing in this Saturday's divisional playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks. The team recently activated his 21-day practice window, providing a significant emotional boost to a roster currently dealing with the loss of star tight end George Kittle. Warner remains a limited practice participant and is working closely with medical staff to ensure he does not face unnecessary physical risks. If he is unable to suit up, veteran Eric Kendricks is expected to continue leading the defense in his absence.
