Overview

• Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed postgame that Warner will undergo surgery and miss the rest of 2025 following the 30-19 loss in Tampa.
• The injury occurred in the first quarter when safety Ji’Ayir Brown rolled into Warner’s right ankle while the defense tackled Rachaad White.
• Warner was stabilized with an air cast and carted off the field, and the 49ers immediately ruled him out for the game.
• Rookie Tatum Bethune replaced Warner at middle linebacker as San Francisco began reworking its linebacker rotation and defensive calls.
• The loss compounds a battered roster that already includes season-ending ACL damage to Nick Bosa and extended absences for Brock Purdy, George Kittle and Brandon Aiyuk, stripping the defense of its longtime captain who had missed only one prior game.
