News

  • San Francisco has allowed 15 fewer completions across the middle third than any other team over the course of Fred Warner's career

    Updated Sun, Oct 1 at 10:39am
  • Huge game in Week 2

    Warner recorded 11 tackles (nine solo) and a sack in Sunday's 30-23 win at the Rams.

    Analysis: Warner was out in full force Sunday, and San Francisco was rewarded when they sent him on a stunt on an important third down late in the third quarter. He's easily on track for the sixth consecutive 100-tackle season of his career and is an elite IDP option going into a Week 3 matchup versus the Giants.

  • Posts solid outing

    Warner recorded eight tackles (five solo) and a pass defended in Sunday's 30-7 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Warner played 100 percent of the snaps on defense, and although he didn't stuff the stat sheet, it was the kind of solid production you'd expect from the BYU product. After posting 125 or more tackles in each of his last three seasons, the 26-year-old is well on pace to do so again after Week 1. Next up for Warner is the Rams in a Week 2 divisional clash.

  • Racks up 130 tackles in 2022

    Warner finished the regular season with 130 tackles (79 solo), two sacks and two turnovers forced across 17 games with the 49ers.

    Analysis: Warner turned in another premier IDP season from the Mike linebacking position. The 26-year-old has averaged 126.8 combined tackles over his five first seasons as a pro, and he is showing no signs of slowing anytime soon. Warner will return to San Francisco in 2023 and continue serving as the team's defensive captain up the middle.

  • Leads team with 12 tackles

    Warner recorded 12 tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 37-34 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Warner recorded a team-high 12 stops, marking his fourth outing of the season with double-digit tackles. Across 16 appearances, the fifth-year linebacker has totaled 122 tackles, 10 pass defenses, two sacks, an interception and a forced fumble. He needs 15 tackles and one sack in Week 18 to tie his career-high marks in those categories.

  • Racks up 13 stops Saturday

    Warner tallied 13 tackles (eight solo) in a Week 16 win over Washington.

    Analysis: Warner led San Francisco in stops in the contest, recording his first double-digit tackle total since Week 8. The star linebacker has 111 stops on the season, so he'll need a big finish over the final two regular-season games to match the 137 tackles he posted last season. However, Warner has already set a single-season career high with 10 pass defenses on the campaign.

  • Underwhelming but steady production

    Warner recorded eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Warner's eight stops were his most since Week 8, but he failed to record either a sack, interception or pass defensed for the first time since Week 7 against the Chiefs. The 26-year-old now has 91 total tackles on the season, putting him on the doorstep of hitting the century mark, a feat he's reached every season of his NFL career thus far.

  • Stuffs stat sheet in win

    Warner recorded seven tackles (five solo), two passes defended and a forced fumble in Sunday's 13-0 victory versus the Saints.

    Analysis: Warner forced his first turnover of the 2022 campaign, as he knocked loose a fumble from running back Alvin Kamara on New Orleans' opening series. The middle linebacker also logged a team high in passes defended and finished as the 49ers' second-leading tackler behind safety Talanoa Hufanga. Warner has once again played at an All-Pro level this season, and he'll likely need to keep operating as a top-tier pass defender to help slow down the Dolphins' high-powered offense next Sunday.

  • Grabs another sack on MNF

    Warner recorded six tackles (five solo), including one sack, during Monday's 38-10 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: While Warner accumulated an overall modest outing by his standards, he logged his first solo sack of the season by bringing down Arizona signal-caller Colt McCoy for a one-yard loss in the second quarter. The All-Pro linebacker also did not play every defensive snap for just the second time this season, as the 49ers took a commanding 31-10 lead into the fourth quarter. Warner now has 75 tackles, two sacks and six passes defended over 10 games in 2022, and he'll look to fill the stat sheet…read more

  • Knocks away three passes Sunday

    Warner recorded three passes defended and seven tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 22-16 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Warner logged a season high in pass deflections to go along with a team high in tackles against the Chargers. The 2020 All-Pro has been highly regarded for his proficiency in pass coverage, but this performance would be impressive even by cornerback standards. Warner now has 69 tackles (41 solo), one sack and six passes defended over nine games, and he'll continue to play a starring role against Arizona on Monday Night Football in Week 11.

  • Season-high 12 tackles

    Warner recorded 12 tackles (five solo), one sack and a pass defended in Sunday's 31-14 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Warner posted his second double-digit tackle outing of the season as the 49ers' ratcheted down on the division-rival Rams in the second half. The star linebacker also notched the first solo sack of the season, bringing down Matthew Stafford for a nine-yard loss in the third quarter. Warner is on pace to easily log the fifth 100-plus-tackle campaign of his five-year career, and his next opportunity to add to this total will come against the Chargers on Sunday, Nov. 13.

  • Posts mediocre outing Sunday

    Warner recorded six tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 44-23 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: For most defenders, a six-tackle performance would be considered a solid effort. However, to Warner's standards, Sunday's loss to Kansas City is deemed a below-average outing given it's his second-lowest stop total across seven games played so far 2022. Regardless, the 25-year-old remains one of the league's elite linebackers and should continue playing heavy snaps Sunday versus the Rams.

  • Season-high 10 tackles in Week 6

    Warner had a team-high 10 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 28-14 loss to Atlanta.

    Analysis: Warner was among the top healthy regulars on the banged-up 49ers defense, but his solid tackling effort wasn't enough to keep the run-heavy Atlanta offense at bay. Through six games in 2022, Warner has racked up 44 tackles (28 solo), with the 10 against the Falcons representing a new season high.

  • Multiple season highs

    Warner registered nine tackles (seven solo), one sack and one pass breakup in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Warner has continued to increase his tackle count in every game since Week 2 and also managed to record his first sack of 2022. The linebacker also played a team-high snap count of 57 defensive snaps during Week 5.

  • Season-high seven tackles

    Warner recorded seven tackles (four solo) and one pass defense during Sunday's 11-10 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Warner has started the campaign slow, totaling just 16 tackles across three games, but he'll look to build off his season-high performance against the Rams on Monday. The 2018 third-round pick has recorded at least 115 tackles in each of his first four seasons and figures to continue that streak in 2022, even after the rocky start.

  • Watching OTAs from sideline

    Warner was seen not participating during the 49ers' OTAs on Tuesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Warner dealt with an ankle issue before the start of San Francisco's playoff push last season and the team appears to be bringing him back slowly this offseason. Head coach Kyle Shannahan said Tuesday that the All-Pro linebacker "could go" by this point in the offseason, but that the team will likely hold him out until training camp, which typically starts around mid-June. Warner missed a game for the first time in his four-year NFL career in 2021, so this precautionary move is likely just…read more

  • No limitations Wednesday

    Warner (ankle) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Warner was listed as a limited participant for Tuesday's session after having an MRI come back clean, and it appears he won't have any issues being ready for Saturday's playoff matchup with Green Bay. He's played every defensive snap for San Francisco in 15 of 19 games this season.

    Warner (ankle) is expected to be a limited participant at Tuesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that Warner will be limited at the 49ers' first practice of the week. His MRI results were good, and Warner feels confident he will be available for this weekend, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. The linebacker's ability to practice in any capacity is a positive sign for his chances to play in the team's divisional-round matchup with the Packers on Saturday, though his status the rest of the week will provide a clearer indication.

  • Avoids serious ankle injury

    Warner (ankle) suggested his injury isn't serious, and he'll have a chance to play in the divisional round against Green Bay, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Warner suffered a non-contact injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over Dallas, and while he wasn't able to rejoin the game, he did sound optimistic Monday. It'll still be worth tracking the 49ers' injury reports this week to see if their star linebacker is participates in practice, as that likely will mean more than Warner's early-week optimism.

    Warner (ankle) will undergo testing Monday to determine the severity of his injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Warner appeared to be in significant pain when he suffered a non-contact injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's wild-card win over the Cowboys. However, coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game that he thinks 25-year-old will have a chance to return during the team's divisional matchup against Green Bay, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

  • Hurts ankle Sunday

    Warner suffered a right ankle injury during Sunday's wild-card game in Dallas.

    Analysis: Shortly before the Cowboys scored a touchdown with 8:02 remaining in the contest, Warner appeared to suffer a non-contact injury and clutched at his lower right leg at the end of a play. He was able to limp off the field and had his ankle taped before the 49ers deemed him questionable to return. Azeez Al-Shaair likely will slide over to middle linebacker for as long as Warner is sidelined.

  • Wraps up nine tackles

    Warner (ankle) recorded nine tackles (six solo) and a recovered fumble in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Warner was able to suit up despite suffering an ankle injury last week against the Bengals. The injury didn't appear to affect the middle linebacker, as he led the 49ers in tackles as per usual. Assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks during practice this week, Warner will carry 108 total tackles (fourth straight year hitting the century mark) into Thursday's matchup against the Titans.

  • No injury designation

    Warner (ankle) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta.

    Analysis: Warner was a limited practice participant early in the week but turned in a full session Friday. As a result, he should be ready for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta. Warner's presence will provide a boost to the middle of the 49ers' defense, as he's been on the field for 100 percent of snaps in all but two games on the season.

Warner also reportedly said that he was "feeling great" and that the injury was "nothing serious" prior to Wednesday's practice.

    Warner (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Warner missed the 49ers' Week 13 loss to the Seahawks, but his ability to take every rep during the team's first Week 14 practice puts him in line to return to the lineup for Sunday's game in Cincinnati. The star linebacker has taken the field for 100 percent of the defensive snaps in 10 of his 12 appearances this season, totaling 92 tackles, three pass breakups and two fumble recoveries.

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said he expects Warner (hamstring) to return to practice this week, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Warner did have a shot to suit up heading into Sunday loss to the Seahawks before he was ultimately listed as inactive just before kickoff. The 49ers are hopeful to get back their leading tackler and one of the NFL's best coverage linebackers as they head into a Week 14 matchup against a Bengals offense that ranks fourth in rushing yards per game over the last three weeks (151).

    Warner (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Seahawks, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Warner wasn't expected to play in Week 13, but coach Kyle Shanahan acknowledged at the beginning of the week that Warner had demonstrated enough progress in his recovery to give himself an outside chance at suiting up rather than being ruled out before making the trip to Seattle. Without their top middle linebacker, the 49ers will have to rely heavily on backups Tyrell Adams and Justin March-Lillard.

    Warner (hamstring) will likely be unavailable for Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Coach Kyle Shanahan listed Warner as "out" in his Monday health update, though he has yet to be officially ruled out by the team. The star linebacker's absence would leave a large hole to fill in the middle of the 49ers defense, which also could be without fellow LB Dre Greenlaw (core), who Shanahan termed day-to-day.

  • Injury seen as non-severe

    The 49ers see Warner's hamstring injury as "short term" following Monday's MRI, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Warner left Sunday's win over the Vikings early and will undergo further testing to determine the exact severity of his injury. The starting middle linebacker, who has 92 tackles and three passes defended this season, remains vital to a 49ers defense which may once again be without fellow LB Dre Greenlaw (groin).

  • Hurts hamstring Sunday

    Warner is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings with a hamstring injury, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: It's a huge loss for the 49ers, as Dre Greenlaw is already out with a groin injury, and now they're without their leading tackler. Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles is likely to see more playing time as a result.

  • Picks up seven tackles

    Warner had seven tackles (four solo) and one fumble recovery during Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Warner is up to 89 total tackles through 10 appearances, though he's still vying for his first sack of the season. The standout linebacker is as consistent as it gets as a tackler, making him a valuable fantasy asset, and he could be in line for a favorable matchup Week 12 against Dalvin Cook and the Vikings.

  • New season high in tackles

    Warner wrapped up 14 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 31-17 loss to Arizona.

    Analysis: The Cardinals were without multiple star offensive players, so they ran their offense through James Conner, resulting in a season-high 14 tackles for Warner. The All-Pro linebacker hasn't been providing much outside of tackles, but he has been doing that at a high clip, currently on pace to crush his previous career high of 125. Warner and the 49ers will take on the Rams next Monday.

    Analysis: Warner was on the field for 100 percent of the defensive snaps for the sixth week in a row, turning in another solid tackling performance. The All-Pro linebacker hasn't provided many auxiliary stats this season, but he has been consistent in the tackle category with 61 (40 solo) through seven games. The 49ers will need to rely on Warner heavily against the Cardinals' high-octane offense in Week 9.

    Analysis: Warner finished with nine tackles for the third consecutive game and remained on the field for 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps for the fifth time in six contests. He's pacing the team with 54 tackles on the season and is well on his way to surpassing 100 total stops.

  • Tackling consistently

    Warner wrapped up nine more tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Arizona.

    Analysis: Warner is averaging a clean nine tackles per game through five weeks. While the All-Pro Mike linebacker hasn't recorded any picks or sacks yet, his consistent tackle production (which is what fantasy managers expect from him) keeps him in high standing. The 49ers enter their bye next week, returning to face the Colts in Week 7.

    Analysis: Warner has now put together back-to-back nine-tackle performances, leaving him with 36 stops (22 solo) through the first four weeks of the season. Such consistent weekly production leaves Warner in the mix as a high-end IDP fantasy option.

    Analysis: Warner finished second on the team with eight tackles, and he now has 26 stops through three games.

    Analysis: Warner picked up right where he left off following his All-Pro season in 2020, flying around the field and leading his team in total tackles. The 24-year-old has put himself in the conversation for the best Mike linebacker in the entire league, making him a strong IDP option in the process. Expect more of the same against the Eagles in Week 2, especially if Dre Greenlaw (groin) is unable to heal up before the contest.

  • Inks lucrative extension

    Warner agreed Wednesday with the 49ers on a five-year, $95 million extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Warner's deal, which runs through the 2026 season, includes $40.5 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid inside linebacker in the league, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. The 2018 third-round pick is coming off a 2020 campaign in which he racked up 125 tackles to go along with two picks and a sack.

  • Takes another step forward

    Warner finished the 2020 campaign with 125 combined tackles (79 solo), two interceptions, a sack, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries across 16 contests for the 49ers.

    Analysis: Warner surpassed expectations for the third consecutive year after being selected in the third round of the 2018 amateur draft. The BYU product only upped his single-season tackle total mark by one, but his improvement as a coverage linebacker added another dimension to his All-Pro level of play. San Francisco's defensive unit was decimated by injuries seemingly on a weekly basis, but Warner was the constant, starting all 16 contests for the third time in his young career. The 23-year-old will…read more

  • Huge performance against Cardinals

    Warner recorded 14 tackles (eight solo), three pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in Saturday's 20-12 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Warner put up a monster effort to put the Cardinals' playoff hopes into serious jeopardy. He now has 115 tackles and six pass breakups this season. Warner was named to his first Pro Bowl just one day before Saturday's game.

  • Active as expected

    Warner (shoulder) will play in Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Warner logged full practice time Friday despite drawing the questionable tag, so this news isn't quite surprising. The BYU product has been strong in a starting role at linebacker this season, racking up 96 tackles (59 solo) and two interceptions. Warner's job got a little easier Sunday, when news broke that running Back Ezekiel Elliott (calf) will be inactive for the contest.

  • Practices fully, still questionable

    Warner (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Warner seems to be trending in the right direction after logging a full-speed practice Friday. As the 49ers look to stay in the playoff race, playing without Warner would be a significant disadvantage against the likes of Ezekiel Elliott (calf) and Tony Pollard -- the two have combined for 63 receptions and 1,559 yards from scrimmage this year.

  • Managing practice reps

    Warner (shoulder) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

    Analysis: Waner suffered a stinger in Sunday's loss to Washington, but the injury doesn't appear to be severe. The BYU product will likely need to continue to practice if he wants to play in Week 15, so his practice availability throughout the week will paint a better picture of his chances to suit up. If he's forced to miss Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Azeez Al-Shaair would be in line for the start at middle linebacker.

  • Injury severity TBD

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said that the team will know more about Warner's shoulder and neck injuries by Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old linebacker sustained a stinger during Sunday's loss to Washington after logging five tackles over 33 defensive snaps, and he proved unable to return to the contest following his early third-quarter exit. If the injury is severe enough to hold Warner out Week 15 against the Cowboys, Azeez Al-Shaair would be in line for his fourth start of the season.

  • Done for the day

    Warner (shoulder/neck) will not return to Sunday's game against Washington, Bob Langeof the 49ers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Warner won't return Sunday due to a stinger, but he was cleared of all concussion concerns. The star linebacker hasn't yet missed a full regular-season game in his career, so he'll work to get back to health in time for Dec. 20's game against the Cowboys.

    Warner (neck/shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Washington, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Warner was also evaluated for a head injury but ultimately cleared, so his stinger is the only remaining barrier preventing him from retaking the field. Azeez Al-Shaair will be a candidate to handle increased snaps as long as Warner remains sidelined.

  • Six more tackles Monday

    Warner finished with six tackles (three solo) and a fumble recovery in Monday's 34-24 loss to Buffalo.

    Analysis: Josh Allen and the Bills air attack decimated the 49ers' secondary, which is why San Francisco's top three tackle getters were all defensive backs. Warner has averaged just 5.7 total tackles per game over the last three contests, but he is still on pace to clear the century mark in that department with 91 through 12 games. Perhaps the star linebacker can get back to a double-digit tackle performance against a Washington Football Team offense that isn't as explosive as the 49ers' last few…read more

  • Six tackles Sunday

    Warner recorded six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Warner has been in a bit of a cold spell from a fantasy perspective, totaling just 11 combined tackles with no auxiliary stats over the past two contests. The 23-year-old is still on pace to record 100-plus tackles for the third straight season with 85 through 11 contests. Warner remains a high-ceiling IDP asset despite the recent slump -- the full-time Mike linebacker heads into a matchup against the Bills next Monday.

  • Tackling machine in TNF loss

    Warner had 13 tackles (nine solo) during Thursday's 34-17 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Warner was unmovable as a run defender Thursday, and he played a key role in holding Aaron Jones to just 58 yards on 15 carries (3.9 YPC). The 23-year-old's 13 total tackles was his highest single-game mark of the season through nine games. He'll look to keep up his momentum against Alvin Kamara and the Saints in Week 10.

  • Poor showing in loss

    Warner finished with just four tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: This was Warner's worst performance from a fantasy perspective this year. The four combined tackles were a season low for the 23-year-old, and he was unable to contribute anywhere else on the stat sheet. Warner has developed into one of the best Mike linebackers in the league, so expect a bounce-back performance against the Packers on Thursday.

  • New career high in INTs

    Warner recorded seven tackles (three solo) and intercepted his second pass of the season in Sunday's 33-6 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: The 49ers' defense has been ravaged by injuries this season, but they were in vintage 2019 form Sunday and Warner played a large role in the stellar performance. The 23-year-old leads the team with 57 tackles, and he already set a new career high with two interceptions through seven games. Warner remains a solid IDP option heading into a huge division matchup against Seattle on Sunday.

  • Seven tackles on SNF

    Warner recorded seven tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Warner was unable to occupy the top spot on the tackle sheet for his team this week, as that honor went to Dre Greenlaw, who was filling in for Kwon Alexander (ankle). The former is superior tackler, which could cut into Warner's totals while also forcing him to drop back more often as the superior pass-coverage linebacker of the two. Seven tackles is still a respectable number, and fantasy owners will hope he can get back to double-digits against the run-heavy Patriots on Sunday.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Warner made 11 tackles -- one for a loss -- in Sunday's 43-17 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: For the second time this season, Warner notched double-digit tackles, and he's totaled 44 stops through five games. The 2018 third-rounder's development has been excellent, as he's one of the top coverage linebackers in the league and has been maintaining high tackle counts all year. Warner is on track to top the career-high 124 tackles he posted in 2018, and he needs to be rostered in IDP leagues.

  • Nabs first interception

    Warner recorded seven tackles (two solo) and an interception in Sunday's 36-9 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Warner didn't post the gaudy tackle totals we saw over his first two contests, which was due in large part to the 49ers dominating the time of possession game (39:44 to 20:16). The 23-year-old did intercept his first pass of the season, which helped alleviate the below-average tackle total. Expect Warner to be atop the tackle sheet yet again when the Eagles come to town for Sunday Night Football in Week 4.

    Analysis: Warner finished with double-digit tackles for the second week in a row, making it clear he's the leader of this talented linebacking corps.

    Analysis: Warner finished second on the team with double-digit tackles, regularly taking down ball carriers in the middle of the field. He was also credited with one pass breakup, though he regularly dropped into coverage against Kenyan Drake and also matched up against Larry Fitzgerald. He'll remain a key part of the 49ers' defense in Week 2 against the Jets.

    The 49ers activated Warner from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: San Francisco still has some injury concerns on offense, but Warner's potential absence to begin the season was the only lingering issue of import on the defensive side. Warner hasn't missed a start since the Niners made him a third-round pick in 2018, with the linebacker piling up 242 tackles (174 solo), 15 pass defenses, four forced fumbles, three sacks and an interception over 32 games and 2,045 defensive snaps.

    Analysis: His placement on the list indicates that he could have either tested positive for COVID-19 or has been quarantined after having been in close contact with an infected person or persons.

  • Breaks century mark again

    Warner finished the regular season with 118 tackles (89 solo), three sacks, three forced fumbles and an interception over 16 games.

    Analysis: Warner retained his role as the 49ers' Mike linebacker and defensive play-caller despite the addition of Kwon Alexander this past offseason. The sophomore was more than ready for the prominent role, as he broke the century mark in tackles again while improving over his rookie campaign in nearly every other statistical category. Given his sustained success in 2019, Warner should remain the leader of this young linebacking corps and provide strong IDP value next season.

  • Big role in win

    Warner recorded 11 tackles, an interception and a defensive touchdown in the team's Week 16 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Warner consistently got to the ball carrier, recording double-digit tackles for the fifth time in his last seven games. However, his biggest impact came with 55 seconds remaining in the first half when he picked off a Jared Goff swing pass intended for Malcolm Brown and returned it for a touchdown. The interception was the first of Warner's career, and he'll seek to finish the regular season on a strong note in the team's Week 17 matchup against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Warner bounced back from from a rough three-tackle performance last week. The sophomore broke the century mark in tackles (104) for the second consecutive season, even chipping in three sacks and three forced fumbles this year.

    Analysis: It wasn't the prettiest game from a defensive perspective given the 48-46 scoreline, but Warner's output was his lowest of the season. He's still proven to be a solid asset, racking up 95 tackles (73 solo) and three sacks through 13 games. The 23-year-old also played all 72 defensive snaps in the game, indicating he'll likely bounce back next week with more production against the Falcons.
