Fred Warner Injury Update
Fred Warner’s season ended with a bad ankle injury. He hurt his right ankle in the first quarter of a game against Tampa Bay. His ankle was fractured and dislocated after a teammate rolled into the back of his leg while making a tackle.
Warner needed surgery right away. His wife said the operation went well. She said he was “doing so good” after surgery. Doctors expect recovery to take about three months. Head coach Kyle Shanahan believes Warner should be ready for offseason workouts next year. But he won’t play again this season.
Nobody knows for sure if he can come back for playoffs. Some specialists say four months is realistic for full healing, based on the kind of injury and the rehab needed. Shanahan says he isn’t planning for a quick return or rushing things. If the 49ers reach the Super Bowl, maybe, but it’s not likely he plays this season.
Warner is one of the top linebackers in the NFL. He rarely misses games. Losing him is tough for the team. He is the defense’s leader and sets the tone. The coaches now lean on Tatum Bethune to fill his spot. Bethune will get more snaps for the rest of the year.
Warner is in good spirits. He has handled the setback well. The team hopes he can make a full recovery and come back ready next year.
