John Lynch: Fred Warner Aiming to Return This Season

The San Francisco 49ers have signed Eric Kendricks to their practice squad, possibly positioning him as the starting MIKE linebacker for the playoffs in light of Fred Warner’s dislocated ankle injury. Although Warner is expected to miss the rest of the season, there is a chance for an early return, as he is aggressively rehabbing. His recovery timeline ranges from 10 to 16 weeks, with the earliest return date set for December 22. The success of the 49ers in the postseason may influence Warner’s chances of returning to the field.
