Kyle Shanahan announces new 49ers starter for huge Week 12 game

Fred Warner, the All-Pro linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers, appears to be ready for practice ahead of the Divisional Round matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, following a season marred by injuries, including a severe ankle injury that sidelined him earlier in the season.

Seattle Seahawks' coach Mike Macdonald has addressed concerns regarding DeMarcus Lawrence's injury ahead of the team's upcoming game against the San Francisco 49ers, following a previous low-scoring encounter where the Seahawks emerged victorious 13-3. The matchup marks the second meeting between these NFC West rivals in two weeks.

The San Francisco 49ers have faced a challenging season marked by a series of significant injuries, yet they find themselves just one win away from the NFC Championship Game after a crucial victory against the Indianapolis Colts. Despite the setbacks, the team's resilience has been evident as they continue to compete at a high level in the NFL.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has embraced the use of performance-enhancing smelling salts, suggesting that their olfactory effects may boost his coaching performance. This practice was highlighted during a recent game, drawing attention from viewers.
