Fred Warner Injury News & Updates

The 49ers placed Warner (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.

Warner underwent surgery to address the right dislocated and fractured ankle that he sustained during the 49ers' Week 6 loss to the Buccaneers. He'll be sidelined for the rest of the season, so the veteran linebacker will focus on his rehab and recovery while working toward being fully healthy for the start of the 2026 campaign. Tatum Bethune is in line to take over starting duties at linebacker in Warner's absence.

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that Warner (ankle) has undergone successful surgery to address the right dislocated and fractured ankle he suffered Week 6, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Shanahan declined to estimate a timetable for Warner's return or to say whether he could have a chance to return if the 49ers earn a playoff berth. Warner's injury is generally considered season-ending, especially if it requires a follow-up procedure, with Dr. Eric Giza, chief of orthopedic foot and ankle surgery at UC Davis, noting that "unless the 49ers go to the Super Bowl, [Warner] is probably out for the season." Tatum Bethune impressed in replacement of Warner in Week 6 and figures to draw a start versus Atlanta on Sunday, but San Francisco's defense now faces the task of replacing its two top playmakers, with Nick Bosa (knee) also out for the year.

Warner (ankle) will undergo season-ending surgery Tuesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said the hope is Warner will be ready in time for training camp next summer after he suffered a dislocated and fractured ankle in Sunday's loss to the Bucs. Tatum Bethune projects to full Warner's hole in the defense moving forward this season, but the 49ers could look for outside reinforcements on defense after losing both Warner and Nick Bosa (knee) to season-ending injuries.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters after Sunday's 30-19 loss to the Buccaneers that Warner will undergo season-ending surgery on his right ankle, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Warner was carted off the field during the first quarter of Sunday's game. Further tests revealed that the veteran linebacker dislocated and broke his right ankle, and he will undergo surgery to repair the injuries and be sidelined for the rest of the 2025 campaign. Warner logged one tackle prior to his exit, and the 2018 third-rounder's season will end with him accumulating 51 tackles (28 solo), three pass defenses, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery over six games. The 49ers will turn to Tatum Bethune and Curtis Robinson to fill in the gap at linebacker left by Warner. Rookie third-rounder Nick Martin has been a healthy scratch for each of the first six games of the regular season, but he could be active and make his NFL debut in San Francisco's Week 7 clash against Atlanta on Sunday, Oct. 19.

Warner dislocated his right ankle in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.

Warner suffered the injury during the first quarter and was quickly ruled out after he was carted to the locker room. He'll undergo further tests and meet with doctors to determine how much time he'll miss, but the loss of Warner is a big blow to a 49ers defense that is already without Nick Bosa (knee) for the rest of the season. Tatum Bethune and Curtis Robinson will continue to see more snaps at linebacker in Warner's absence.

Warner has led the 49ers' defense in total tackles in each of the team's first three games this year, bringing his season total to 30 stops. The veteran continues to prove why he's the NFL's highest-paid inside linebacker, as he's also accumulated three passes defended and a forced fumble this season, showcasing his all-around impact.

Warner paced San Francisco's defense in total tackles for the second consecutive time in Sunday's win, opening his 2025 campaign with 19 total tackles through two games. The NFL's highest-paid inside linebacker also made an incredible play on Alvin Kamara in the third quarter in which he forced and recovered a fumble. As the 49ers prepare to face the Cardinals in Week 3, Warner is projected to remain one of the NFL's premier defensive playmakers.

Warner tallied eight total tackles (four solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Seahawks.

This is the second time in Warner's seven-year career that he's held the title of the league's highest paid linebacker. Over San Francisco's last 34 regular-season games, Warner has totaled 263 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, 18 passes defended, with six interceptions, and eight forced fumbles. Now officially remaining in San Francisco, he's expected to continue wreaking havoc as one of the NFL's premier defensive playmakers.

All-Pro Fred lived up to his nickname with another appearance on the first team of the All-Pro squad in 2024. The 28-year-old fell just six tackles shy of his previous career high while chipping in a variety of auxiliary stats for IDP managers. Warner finished as one of the few bright spots for an underperforming 49ers' defense. He will continue to lead this defense in 2025 as the club attempts to rediscover its identity after firing defensive coordinators in consecutive seasons.

Warner totaled 11 tackles (six solo) during the 49ers' loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Warner had a productive outing despite the loss as he was the team's leading tackler once again and has now racked up double-digit stops in four games this season. The 28-year-old has recorded 117 tackles (68 solo) so far this season, just 20 shy of his career-high total set back in 2021, which he'll have the chance to surpass during the team's final two games of the season

Warner racked up 11 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 29-17 loss to the Dolphins.

Warner was on the field for every defensive snap en route to his second double-digit tackle total in as many games. The 28-year-old appears to be completely over the ankle injury he was playing through during a statistical slump from Weeks 11 to 14 (4.0 tackles per game). Warner should remain busy trying to track down Lions' star RB Jahmyr Gibbs on Monday Night Football in Week 17.

Warner finished with 15 tackles (eight solo) with a pass defended in Thursday's 12-6 loss to the Rams.

Warner -- who has been playing through a fractured ankle -- looked like his usual self patrolling the middle of San Francisco's defense. The 15 combined tackles set a new high-water mark for the perennial All-Pro through 14 games in 2024. The dominant IDP performance also put Warner above 100 tackles for the seventh time in as many season as a pro.

Warner told reporters Wednesday that he fractured a bone in his ankle in the 49ers' Week 4 win over the Patriots and has been playing through the issue since, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Warner led the 49ers in total stops in what was another dominant performance for the All-Pro Linebacker. The 27-year-old's strong season continues as he's now racked up 66 tackles (40 solo), with 1.0 sack, in addition to snagging two interceptions and forcing a league-high four fumbles.

Warner tallied 11 tackles (six solo) along with a defensed pass and a forced fumble in Thursday's 36-24 Week 6 win over Seattle.

Warner led San Francisco in stops in the victory and posted his second straight double-digit tackle total. The star linebacker also had one of his patented punched-ball forced fumbles in the fourth quarter, and though it was recovered by the Seahawks, the ball traveled several yards backward, turning a would-be first down into a third down. Warner has continued to be a strong IDP asset this year, totaling 50 tackles (30 solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with two interceptions (one of which he returned for a touchdown) and four forced fumbles through six games.

Warner (ankle) will play Thursday against the Seahawks.

Warner was able to play through the injury in Week 5 and after logging a full practice Wednesday is set to do the same in Week 6. Having the veteran linebacker on the field will certainly be a boon for the 49ers' defense when they travel to Seattle for a divisional matchup.

Warner hurt his ankle last Sunday versus New England and missed the first two practices of Week 5 prep.

It appears Warner will be able to take the field Sunday, ensuring that he doesn't miss the second regular-season game of his seven-year NFL career.

Warner (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Lombardi relays that Warner and tight end George Kittle (ribs) moved around well during practice Friday, of which both players were listed as limited participants on the 49ers' injury report.

Warner (ankle) was listed as a DNP for Thursday's practice session.

Warner missed the second half of Sunday's win over the Patriots due to an ankle injury, and it has kept him off the field for the first two practices of the week.

Tatum Bethune could serve as the 49ers' starting middle linebacker if Warner is unable to play.

Warner (ankle) did not participate at the 49ers' practice Wednesday.

Warner suffered an ankle injury in the team's Week 4 win over the Patriots, leaving the game after he secured a pick-six in the first half.

Warner was forced out Sunday in the second half due to an ankle injury, which isn't considered to be serious after testing and scans. His ability to take part in practice this week likely will be key to determining whether he'll miss no time as a result.

Warner is in the midst of a monster day, having registered seven tackles (four solo) and 45-yard pick-six in the first half of Sunday's contest. However, he appears to be dealing with an ankle injury, which could keep him from returning for the second half of Sunday's contest. Tatum Bethune would be the next man up at middle linebacker for the 49ers if Warner were to be sidelined.

Warner recorded nine tackles (seven solo) including 1.0 sacks, an interception, and two forced fumbles during Sunday's 23-17 loss at Minnesota.

Warner has a strong case as an early Defensive Player of the Year candidate after a Week 2 loss that would not have been as close as it was without his spectacular showing. One of his forced fumbles came inside the 49ers' own five-yard line late in the third quarter and kept Minnesota from extending its lead to three scores. He's an elite IDP option as long as he's healthy.

Warner logged seven total tackles (five solo) during Monday night's 32-19 win over the Jets.

Warner was held out of Wednesday's practice due to foot irritation, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Expect San Francisco to be extremely cautious with Warner, as he is such an integral part of the team's defensive. The BYU product is coming off back-to-back first-team All-Pro selections, recording 262 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, and 21 passes defended, with five interceptions across his last 34 regular-season games. Warner is expected to remain one of the best inside linebackers in all of football once he returns to full health.

Warner started all 17 of San Francisco's regular season contests in 2023, finishing with 132 combined tackles, four interceptions, four forced fumbles and 2.5 sacks

Warner was one of just four defensive players across the league who hit the century mark in total tackles while also grabbing four or more interceptions. The unanimous All-Pro selection finished a tick above his previous five-year average of 128.6 combined tackles, but the real strides were made in the turnover department where he set new career highs in picks (four) and forced fumbles (four). Warner will continue setting the bar for Mike linebackers across the league while producing strong IDP numbers for fantasy managers in 2024.

Warner logged six total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Commanders.

Warner had a subpar performance by his usual standards, but he still finished as the 49ers' second leading tackler Sunday. The All-Pro inside linebacker is having debatably the best season of his six-year career, recording 132 tackles, 11 pass deflections, four interceptions and four forced fumbles through 16 games (all but tackles are career-highs). With San Francisco locking up the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoff picture in Week 17, it's unknown whether Warner will suit up in Week 18.

Warner logged 10 tackles (five solo) and two passes deflected in the 49ers 33-19 loss to the Ravens on Monday.

Warner was on the field for all 64 defensive snaps, which makes it his eighth game this season without him leaving the field on defense.

Warner has recorded an interception in back-to-back games, and he returned to a 100 percent snap share versus Chicago after playing less than 80 percent Weeks 4 and 5. The star linebacker remains an elite IDP asset heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Vikings on Monday Night Football.

Warner recorded eight tackles (five solo), one interception and one forced fumble in the 49ers 42-10 victory over the Cowboys in Week 5.

Warner's pick and forced fumble were both his first of the season through five games.

Warner recorded eight tackles (five solo) and a pass defended in Sunday's 30-7 win over the Steelers.

Warner played 100 percent of the snaps on defense, and although he didn't stuff the stat sheet, it was the kind of solid production you'd expect from the BYU product. After posting 125 or more tackles in each of his last three seasons, the 26-year-old is well on pace to do so again after Week 1. Next up for Warner is the Rams on Sunday.

Warner finished the regular season with 130 tackles (79 solo), two sacks and two turnovers forced across 17 games with the 49ers.

Warner turned in another premier IDP season from the Mike linebacking position. The 26-year-old has averaged 126.8 combined tackles over his five first seasons as a pro, and he is showing no signs of slowing anytime soon. Warner will return to San Francisco in 2023 and continue serving as the team's defensive captain up the middle.

Warner forced his first turnover of the 2022 campaign, as he knocked loose a fumble from running back Alvin Kamara on New Orleans' opening series. The middle linebacker also logged a team high in passes defended and finished as the 49ers' second-leading tackler behind safety Talanoa Hufanga. Warner has once again played at an All-Pro level this season, and he'll likely need to keep operating as a top-tier pass defender to help slow down the Dolphins' high-powered offense next Sunday.

Warner recorded six tackles (five solo), including one sack, during Monday's 38-10 win over the Cardinals.

While Warner accumulated an overall modest outing by his standards, he logged his first solo sack of the season by bringing down Arizona signal-caller Colt McCoy for a one-yard loss in the second quarter. The All-Pro linebacker also did not play every defensive snap for just the second time this season, as the 49ers took a commanding 31-10 lead into the fourth quarter. Warner now has 75 tackles, two sacks and six passes defended over 10 games in 2022, and he'll look to fill the stat sheet against New Orleans' flawed offense this coming Sunday.

Warner recorded three passes defended and seven tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 22-16 win over the Chargers.

Warner logged a season high in pass deflections to go along with a team high in tackles against the Chargers. The 2020 All-Pro has been highly regarded for his proficiency in pass coverage, but this performance would be impressive even by cornerback standards.

Warner recorded six tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 44-23 loss to the Chiefs.

For most defenders, a six-tackle performance would be considered a solid effort. However, to Warner's standards, Sunday's loss to Kansas City is deemed a below-average outing given it's his second-lowest stop total across seven games played so far 2022. Regardless, the 25-year-old remains one of the league's elite linebackers and should continue playing heavy snaps Sunday versus the Rams.

Warner had a team-high 10 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 28-14 loss to Atlanta.

Warner was among the top healthy regulars on the banged-up 49ers defense, but his solid tackling effort wasn't enough to keep the run-heavy Atlanta offense at bay. Through six games in 2022, Warner has racked up 44 tackles (28 solo), with the 10 against the Falcons representing a new season high.

Warner was seen not participating during the 49ers' OTAs on Tuesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Warner dealt with an ankle issue before the start of San Francisco's playoff push last season and the team appears to be bringing him back slowly this offseason. Head coach Kyle Shannahan said Tuesday that the All-Pro linebacker "could go" by this point in the offseason, but that the team will likely hold him out until training camp which typically starts around mid-June. Warner missed a game for the first time in his four-year NFL career in 2021, so this precautionary move is likely just meant to help avoid any unforeseen setbacks before the start of this coming regular season.

Warner (ankle) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Warner was listed as a limited participant for Tuesday's session after having an MRI come back clean, and it appears he won't have any issues being ready for Saturday's playoff matchup with Green Bay. He's played every defensive snap for San Francisco in 15 of 19 games this season.

Warner (ankle) is expected to be a limited participant at Tuesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that Warner will be limited at the 49ers' first practice of the week.

Warner (ankle) suggested his injury isn't serious, and he'll have a chance to play in the divisional round against Green Bay, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Warner suffered a non-contact injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over Dallas, and while he wasn't able to rejoin the game, he did sound optimistic Monday. It'll still be worth tracking the 49ers' injury reports this week to see if their star linebacker is participates in practice, as that likely will mean more than Warner's early week optimism.

Warner (ankle) will undergo testing Monday to determine the severity of his injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Warner appeared to be in significant pain when he suffered a non-contact injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's wild-card win over the Cowboys. However, coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game that he thinks 25-year-old will have a chance to return during the team's divisional matchup against Green Bay, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Warner suffered a right ankle injury during Sunday's wild-card game in Dallas.

Shortly before the Cowboys scored a touchdown with 8:02 remaining in the contest, Warner appeared to suffer a non-contact injury and clutched at his lower right leg at the end of a play. He was able to limp off the field and had his ankle taped before the 49ers deemed him questionable to return. Azeez Al-Shaair likely will slide over to middle linebacker for as long as Warner is sidelined.

Warner (ankle) recorded nine tackles (six solo) and a recovered fumble in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Falcons.

Warner was able to suit up despite suffering an ankle injury last week against the Bengals. The injury didn't appear to affect the middle linebacker, as he led the 49ers in tackles as per usual. Assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks during practice this week, Warner will carry 108 total tackles (fourth straight year hitting the century mark) into Thursday's matchup against the Titans.

Warner (ankle) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta.

Warner was a limited practice participant early in the week but turned in a full session Friday. As a result, he should be ready for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta. Warner's presence will provide a boost to the middle of the 49ers' defense, as he's been on the field for 100 percent of snaps in all but two games on the season.

Warner (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Warner left last week's game with a sprained ankle before returning to and finishing out the contest. The linebacker did stretch out as part of some additional work before sitting out team drills, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Warner also reportedly said that he was "feeling great" and that the injury was "nothing serious" prior to Wednesday's practice. The status of the team's leading tackler is crucial for the 49ers as fellow linebackers Azeez Al-Shaair (elbow) and Dre Greenlaw (groin) are both questionable for this Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Warner (ankle) is expected to play Sunday against the Falcons according to head coach Kyle Shanahan, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Warner suffered the sprain during the 49ers' win over the Bengals on Sunday. Although he left the game, he did end up returning and finishing. He is considered day-to-day, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Warner (hamstring) practiced in full Wednesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Warner missed the team's Week 13 loss to the Seahawks, though it was reported that he would return to practice leading up to Sunday's matchup against Cincinnati. His return to the field would be a big boost for the San Francisco defense, as he has taken the field for 100 percent of the defensive snaps in 10 of his 12 games this season.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said he expects Warner (hamstring) to return to practice this week, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.

Warner did have a shot to suit up heading into Sunday loss to the Seahawks before he was ultimately listed as inactive just before kickoff. The 49ers are hopeful to get back their leading tackler and one of the NFL's best coverage linebackers as they head into a Week 14 matchup against a Bengals offense that ranks fourth in rushing yards per game over the last three weeks (151).

Warner (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Seahawks, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Warner wasn't expected to play in Week 13, but coach Kyle Shanahan acknowledged at the beginning of the week that Warner had demonstrated enough progress in his recovery to give himself an outside chance at suiting up rather than being ruled out before making the trip to Seattle. Without their top middle linebacker, the 49ers will have to rely heavily on backups Tyrell Adams and Justin March-Lillard.

Warner (hamstring) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan acknowledged Monday that Warner was unlikely to play this weekend, but the star linebacker demonstrated enough progress in his recovery from the hamstring injury to give himself an outside shot at suiting up rather than being ruled out from making the trip to Seattle. Even so, the doubtful designation means Warner will most likely be inactive for the first time this season, depriving the San Francisco defense of one of the NFL's top linebackers in coverage. Fortunately for the 49ers, none of Seattle's tight ends or running backs have proven to be game-breaking threats as receivers, with wideouts Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf instead ranking as the Seahawks' most feared options in the passing game.

Warner (hamstring) will likely be unavailable for Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Coach Kyle Shanahan listed Warner as out in his Monday health update, though he has yet to be officially ruled out by the team. The star linebacker's absence would leave a large hole to fill in the middle of the 49ers defense, which could also be without fellow LB Dre Greenlaw (core), who Shanahan listed as day-to-day.

The 49ers see Warner's hamstring injury as "short term" coming off Monday's MRI, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Warner left Sunday's win over the Vikings early and will undergo further testing to determine the exact severity of his injury. The starting middle linebacker, who has 92 tackles and three passes defended this season, remains vital to a 49ers defense which may once again be without fellow LB Dre Greenlaw (groin).

Warner (hamstring) will get an MRI on Monday, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.

The 49ers managed to eke out a win over the Vikings without two of their starting linebackers for much of the game. More information regarding Warner's recovery timeline should become available Monday.

Warner is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings with a hamstring injury, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

It's a huge loss for the 49ers as Dre Greenlaw is already out with a groin injury, and now they're without their leading tackler. Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles is likely to see more playing time as a result.

Warner had seven tackles (four solo) and one fumble recovery during Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jaguars.

Warner is up to 89 total tackles through 10 appearances, though he's still vying for his first sack of the season. The standout linebacker is as consistent as it gets as a tackler, making him a valuable fantasy asset, and he could be in line for a favorable matchup Week 12 against Dalvin Cook and the Vikings.

Warner wrapped up 14 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 31-17 loss to Arizona.

The Cardinals were without multiple star offensive players, so they ran their offense through James Conner, resulting in a season-high 14 tackles for Warner. The All-Pro linebacker hasn't been providing much outside of tackles, but he has been doing that at a high clip, currently on pace to crush his previous career high of 125. Warner and the 49ers will take on the Rams next Monday.

Warner recorded eight tackles (five solo) and one pass defense in Sunday's 33-22 win over the Bears.

Warner was on the field for 100 percent of the defensive snaps for the sixth week in a row, turning in another solid tackling performance. The All-Pro linebacker hasn't provided many auxiliary stats this season, but he has been consistent in the tackle category with 61 (40 solo) through seven games. The 49ers will need to rely on Warner heavily against the Cardinals' high-octane offense in Week 9.

Warner recorded nine tackles, two tackles for a loss and recovered a fumble in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Colts.

Warner finished with nine tackles for the third consecutive game and remained on the field for 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps for the fifth time in six contests. He's pacing the team with 54 tackles on the season and is well on his way to surpassing 100 total stops.

Warner notched nine tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Seahawks.

Warner has now put together back-to-back nine-tackle performances, leaving him with 36 stops (22 solo) through the first four weeks of the season. Such consistent weekly production leaves Warner in the mix as a high-end IDP fantasy option.

Warner recorded eight tackles in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Packers.

Warner finished second on the team with eight tackles, and he now has 26 stops through three games. That's good enough to lead the team, and he's also chipped in one tackle for a loss and one pass defended. Warner will remain a key to the success of the 49ers' defense in a Week 4 matchup against Seattle.

Warner made seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 17-11 win over the Eagles.

Warner is now up to 18 tackles through two games, and he's considered a high-end IDP option at linebacker after producing at least 118 stops in each of his first three campaigns. The Packers are up next in Week 3.

Warner recorded 11 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 41-33 win over the Lions.

Warner picked up right where he left off following his All-Pro season in 2020, flying around the field and leading his team in total tackles. The 24-year-old has put himself in the conversation for the best Mike linebacker in the entire league, making him a strong IDP option in the process. Expect more of the same against the Eagles in Week 2, especially if Dre Greenlaw (groin) is unable to heal up before the contest.

Warner has been placed on the 49ers' reserve/Covid-19 List.

Warner's placement on the list indicates that he could have either tested positive for COVID-19 or has been quarantined after having been in close contact with an infected person or persons. Warner, who logged 118 tackles and three sacks in 2019, is slated to start at middle linebacker for the 49ers this coming season.

Warner (knee) is expected to start Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Warner is coming off minor knee surgery that kept him sidelined during OTAs, but appears to be fully healthy and operating at full capacity. The second-year pro will line up alongside free-agent signee Kwon Alexander, forming a formidable tandem.
