"Warner's injury came midway through the first quarter of the matchup between NFC division leaders. After trainers examined him on the field, the four-time All-Pro was carted off the field, speaking to teammates as he went. Tatum Bethune took his spot at middle linebacker for the rest of the game and will assume the role through the end of the season."
"he wrote in an Instagram post. The love everyone has shown me and the prayers being had for me mean the world to me. Some ask why I was able to smile on the cart heading in and it's because (aside from the shock) I have complete peace in knowing Gods plan is so completely perfect and I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be."
Fred Warner dislocated and fractured his ankle midway through the first quarter, was examined by trainers and carted off while speaking to teammates. He encouraged teammates to press on, but the 49ers lost 30-19 in Tampa Bay. Warner addressed the locker room after the game and later shared an optimistic, faith-based message thanking fans for support and prayers. Tatum Bethune will take over at middle linebacker for the remainder of the season. The 49ers must navigate 11 remaining games while managing multiple injuries to key players. Christian McCaffrey and Trent Williams called the injury heartbreaking; George Kittle and Brock Purdy could return soon as other playmakers recover.
