Overview

  • The linebacker was docked $23,186 for unnecessary roughness for using his helmet on a first-quarter tackle of Cardinals running back James Conner in Week 3.
  • The sanction appeared in the September 27 Gameday Accountability report that is coordinated with the NFLPA.
  • Warner’s penalty tied for the largest of Week 3 with Seahawks lineman Leonard Williams and Rams safety Kam Kinchens among 20 total fines.
  • The discipline does not include a suspension, leaving Warner available for Sunday’s Week 4 game against the Jaguars.
  • It is Warner’s first fine of 2025 and the largest of his career as the 49ers adjust to losing Nick Bosa to a season-ending ACL injury.
