49ers open Fred Warner's practice window, hope he can play in NFC Championship Game

The San Francisco 49ers have opened linebacker Fred Warner's practice window, allowing him to participate in the team's walk-through practice. Although Warner will not play in the upcoming game against the Seattle Seahawks, there is optimism from head coach Kyle Shanahan that Warner could be ready for the NFC Championship Game should the 49ers advance. Warner suffered a dislocated and fractured right ankle in Week Six, initially believed to be a season-ending injury. However, his recovery has progressed faster than expected, leading to the possibility of his return if the team continues in the playoffs. Warner expressed his readiness to play, but the 49ers are exercising caution with his return.
