Fred Warner’s season ends with dislocated and fractured ankle

It looked bad when it happened, and unfortunately for Fred Warner and the 49ers, the linebacker’s ankle injury is serious.

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan announced after the game that Warner had dislocated and fractured his ankle. The injury will require season-ending surgery.

Warner has only missed one game in his eight-year career, missing one game in 2021 with a hamstring injury. He played through a broken ankle last season.

The four-time All-Pro was injured with 7:48 left in the first quarter on a 10-yard run by Rachaad White. Warner’s right leg was rolled from behind by teammate Ji’Ayir Brown, a gruesome injury of which CBS only showed limited replays.

Warner left with an air thrown at his ankle.

Tatum Bethune replaced Warner, who made a tackle before leaving.

Warner’s injury is the latest in a long list of injuries the 49ers have suffered this 4-2 season, but it could be the most serious.
