Overview
- Warner was injured with 7:48 left in the first quarter when safety Ji’Ayir Brown rolled onto his right ankle during a Rachaad White run, received an air cast on the field, and was carted off.
- Shanahan confirmed a dislocated and fractured right ankle requiring surgery, and team and league reports indicate Warner will miss the remainder of the 2025 season.
- San Francisco lost 30-19 to the Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium, falling to 4-2 as the defense allowed a season-high 30 points after Warner’s exit.
- Rookie Tatum Bethune took the first snaps in Warner’s place, with Dee Winters set to handle the middle and help expected from Luke Gifford and others.
- The setback deepens an already heavy injury toll for the 49ers, who have lost Nick Bosa for the season and have seen Brock Purdy, George Kittle, and Ricky Pearsall miss time, while Jauan Jennings said he is playing through five broken ribs.
