Warner (ankle) said at the start of San Francisco's voluntary workout program Monday that he no longer has any limitations relating to the ankle injury he suffered Week 6 of the 2025 season, Noah Furtado of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Warner appears to already be back to full health after having suffered a dislocated and fractured right ankle last October and subsequentially undergoing surgery. The star linebacker said in January that he would have been able to retake the field had the 49ers made it to the NFC Championship Game in the postseason, however, so it's no surprise to see that he's since been cleared. Barring any setbacks, Warner projects to return to his usual standing as a truly elite fantasy option in IDP formats during the 2026 campaign.

Warner (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's NFC divisional-round clash against the Seahawks, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports. Warner was cleared to return to practice Tuesday and was a limited participant in all three sessions this past week. He isn't quite ready to be activated from injured reserve, though head coach Kyle Shanahan relayed Thursday that he is "confident" that Warner would be cleared to play in the NFC Championship Game if the 49ers were to win Saturday, per Vic Tafur of The Athletic.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Warner (ankle) will be designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday in order to participate in walkthroughs, with the hope that he could return for the NFC Championship Game if the 49ers advance that far in the postseason, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Warner will officially have his practice window open Tuesday, though Shanahan's comments echo an earlier report from Mike Garafolo of NFL Network which indicated that the star linebacker is not expected to take part in on-field sessions in advance of Saturday's divisional-round matchup in Seattle. Should San Francisco defeat the Seahawks on Saturday, however, Warner could be a candidate to practice and return for the team's following playoff matchup. Warner is recovering from a dislocated and fractured right ankle suffered Week 6, and Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports that he was officially listed as limited at Tuesday's walkthrough.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Warner (IR, ankle) can return in the playoffs, but only if the team makes a deep playoff run, Matt Barrows reports. Warner has not played since suffering an ankle injury in Week 6 against Tampa Bay and isn't ready to return for the start of the playoffs. When asked about the star linebacker, Shanahan said the team would have to win a few playoff games before thinking about a possible comeback for the 29-year-old. With Warner and Tatum Bethune (groin) both out, and Dee Winters (ankle) listed as questionable, Eric Kendricks is in line to start at linebacker for San Francisco in Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles.

Warner logged 12 tackles (seven solo) during the 49ers' 26-23 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday. Warner played every single defensive snap for a fourth consecutive game, and he finished Thursday's contest with the second most tackles on the 49ers behind rookie fifth-round safety Marques Sigle (13). Thursday marked the third time Warner has logged double-digit tackles, and the veteran linebacker has recorded at least eight tackles in each of the first five games of the regular season. He's up to 50 tackles (28 solo), three pass defenses, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery to open the 2025 campaign.
