Kyle Shanahan\u2019s gamesmanship, paired with videos of Warner, has led many to speculate that he\u2019ll play this Saturday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">On Thursday, Warner was seen at practice. The difference between him and his teammates was that Warner didn\u2019t have his helmet, an indication he wasn\u2019t practicing:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">As you can see, linebackers Luke Gifford and Dee Winters returned to practice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Here\u2019s the final injury report:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Out:<br \/>LB Fred Warner (ankle)<br \/>S Ji\u2019Ayir Brown (hamstring)<br \/>Questionable:<br \/>WR Ricky Pearsall (knee)<br \/>LB Dee Winters (ankle)<br \/>LB Luke Gifford (quadriceps)<br \/>WR Jacob Cowing (hamstring)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Shanahan said he feels confident that Warner put himself in a position to play a week from now if the 49ers advance. Warner will make the trip to Seattle with the team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Here\u2019s Shanahan on what he saw from Pearsall this week: \u201cWe wouldn\u2019t put him on a snap count. I saw improvement. He\u2019s still battling it. That\u2019s why he\u2019s still questionable. We would never put a guy on an exact snap count, especially in a playoff game. But we also understand where he\u2019s at.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Shanahan added, \u201cHopefully, we get Ricky.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Seattle Seahawks added quarterback Sam Darnold to the injury report. He\u2019s listed as questionable with a new oblique injury. According to a Seahawks reporter, Darnold said, \u201cNothing to see here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">There is no game designation for left tackle Charles Cross, who last played in Week 15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The saga about whether the San Francisco 49ers will have Fred Warner has driven the conversation all week.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":681670,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[7,6,3148],"class_list":{"0":"post-681669","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-san-francisco-49ers-injuries"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115904659440439968","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=681669"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681669\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/681670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=681669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=681669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=681669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
