49ers' Fred Warner Reveals Playing Through Fractured Ankle

The All-Pro linebacker has endured the injury since late September, as the injury-plagued 49ers prepare for a challenging matchup against the Bills.

Fred Warner disclosed he has been playing with a fractured bone in his ankle since a September 29 game against the Patriots, receiving pain management injections before each game.
Despite the injury, Warner has not missed a snap and has accumulated 84 tackles, a sack, four forced fumbles, and two interceptions this season.
Quarterback Brock Purdy returned to practice on Wednesday but was limited in throwing due to a lingering right shoulder issue, leaving his status for Sunday uncertain.
Linebacker Dre Greenlaw practiced for the first time since tearing his Achilles in the Super Bowl, potentially boosting the defense if activated within the next 21 days.
Other key 49ers, including Nick Bosa and Trent Williams, remain sidelined from practice, while the team faces a 9-2 Bills squad coming off a bye week.
