Fred Warner, the 49ers' All-Pro linebacker, will miss the rest of the season due to a severe ankle injury sustained during a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The injury occurred when Warner's right ankle twisted sideways after players fell on him. Despite the team's current struggles with injuries, Warner's loss is a significant blow, as he has been a consistent and vital player for the 49ers. Warner, who has been a First-Team All-Pro for three straight seasons and four of the last five, has only missed one game in his eight-year career. His leadership and on-field performance have been invaluable to the team, and his absence will be felt throughout the season. Warner's contract extension, worth $63 million, ensures his presence with the team until 2029. The 49ers' coach, Kyle Shanahan, expressed his disappointment, emphasizing the impact of losing one of their best players. The team's resilience, despite numerous injuries, is a testament to their determination, and Warner's recovery is a priority for the organization.
