Niners LB Fred Warner doesn't rule out playing Saturday vs. Seahawks: 'Just taking it day by day'

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner is taking steps towards returning from a dislocated and broken ankle suffered in Week 6 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 49ers opened Warner's practice window, and head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated hope for Warner's readiness if the team advances past the Divisional Round. Warner, a four-time All-Pro, has been practicing in a limited capacity, with the possibility of playing against the Seattle Seahawks in the upcoming playoff game. Despite initially expecting to miss the rest of the season, Warner's recovery progress has been ahead of schedule. His presence at practice has been described as energizing for the team, although his game-readiness remains uncertain. Warner's return would be significant for the 49ers, as he was instrumental in their season-opening victory against the Seahawks, contributing eight tackles.
