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 Warner's stead 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 since Nick Bosa (knee) is also out for the year.

Warner logged 12 tackles (seven solo) during the 49ers' 26-23 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday. Warner played every single defensive snap for a fourth consecutive game, and he finished Thursday's contest with the second most tackles on the 49ers behind rookie fifth-round safety Marques Sigle (13). Thursday marked the third time Warner has logged double-digit tackles, and the veteran linebacker has recorded at least eight tackles in each of the first five games of the regular season. He's up to 50 tackles (28 solo), three pass defenses, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery to open the 2025 campaign.

Warner recorded eight tackles (six solo) with a forced fumble in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Jaguars. Warner logged 100 percent of defensive snaps for the third straight game and has at least eight tackles in every contest. He also forced his second fumble of the year, helping to stall a Jacksonville drive late in the third quarter.

Warner tallied 11 total tackles (five solo) and two passes defended during Sunday's 16-15 win over the Cardinals. 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. Expect Warner to remain the 49ers' defensive signal-caller in Week 4, when the Jaguars travel to San Francisco.
