Overview

• San Francisco placed All-Pro middle linebacker Fred Warner on injured reserve with a dislocated and fractured ankle sustained last Sunday in Tampa.
• The 49ers held workouts for five free-agent linebackers: Jalen Reeves-Maybin, Kam Arnold, Stone Blanton, Ben Niemann, and Chandler Wooten.
• Reeves-Maybin was not signed and remains a free agent after being released by the Lions in March.
• The 49ers’ current inside linebacker group of Dee Winters, Luke Gifford, Curtis Robinson, Nick Martin, and Tatum Bethune has only 20 career starts combined.
• Reeves-Maybin is the NFLPA president and a spokesperson in the union’s executive-director search, and some commentators say his continued unemployment could complicate the March 2026 leadership timeline.
