Kyle Shanahan said Fred Warner will not come off injured reserve this week, ruling him out for Saturday's game in Seattle, but he said he was encouraged that the NFC title game timeline remains in play.

The story of the 2025 San Francisco 49ers is still being written. Saturday night, the 49ers will take on the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field with an NFC Championship game berth on the line. There is no two ways around it.

The indications from the 49ers have been that linebacker Fred Warner will not play against the Seahawks on Saturday, but Warner isn't ready to rule anything out yet.
