49ers superstar returns to full practice after dealing with foot injury
The vibes haven't been great lately for the San Francisco 49ers.
It seemed for a stretch like only bad news was coming out of Santa Clara with the prolonged Brandon Aiyuk hold-in, Trent Williams's holdout, and an injury list that seemed to grow every day.
One of the early injuries in camp was foot irritation for linebacker Fred Warner. In a bit of good injury news for the 49ers, Warner was back as a full participant in Wednesday's practice according to ESPN's Nick Wagoner.
It didn't appear as though Warner's injury would be one that held him out for a prolonged period. He was even back at practice before Wednesday but was not participating fully.
Still, the 49ers needed a win on the injury front and Warner returning as a full participant before the team's second preseason game is good news.
It's unclear whether Warner will play Sunday when the 49ers host the New Orleans Saints. Head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated some starters might play since the club had to cancel their joint practices with New Orleans. Those joint sessions are typically classified as game reps for the 49ers so they don't play their starters in the game.
Given that Warner is just now returning to full practice the team may hold their All-Pro linebacker out of Sunday's action. Either way, he appears to be on track for Week 1 which is the best news the 49ers could've gotten.
