Overview

• Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported Warner sustained a dislocated right ankle and will meet with doctors to determine a timetable.
• Warner was placed in an air cast and ruled out after Ji’Ayir Brown rolled onto his ankle during a tackle on Rachaad White.
• Rookie Tatum Bethune replaced Warner at middle linebacker as San Francisco adjusted its defensive lineup.
• Medical commentators indicated surgery and a lengthy absence are possible, but the team has not provided a definitive timeline.
• The setback adds to a long 49ers injury list that includes Nick Bosa’s season-ending ACL tear and missed games for Brock Purdy, George Kittle and Brandon Aiyuk.
