Fred Warner won't return until at least championship game if 49ers qualify
Our Summary
The San Francisco 49ers are uncertain about linebacker Fred Warner's return this season, with the earliest possibility being the NFC Championship Game, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Warner has been sidelined since Week 6 due to a dislocated and fractured right ankle. The team's linebacker corps faces additional challenges as Tatum Bethune, Warner's replacement, is out for the season after tearing his groin in Week 18 against the Seahawks. Eric Kendricks is set to fill the gap left by Warner and Bethune. Shanahan expressed confidence in Kendricks, citing his recent performances. Additionally, the statuses of linebackers Dee Winters (ankle) and Luke Gifford (quad) will be assessed later this week.
