Fred Warner Fully Recovered, Ready for Niners Offseason

0:00It's April 20th. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered NFL coverage. Fred Warner, the San Francisco 49ers All Pro linebacker, is fully cleared with no restrictions for the team's off-season program after that. Nasty ankle injury sidelined him last season. He broke the news himself on Monday during day one of the program, telling reporters he's good to go for every single session, according to ESPN. Reports 49ers' defense felt his absence big time after he went down in week six against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a broken and dislocated ankle. And fans were buzzing in the playoffs about a possible comeback. There was even video of him practicing before the divisional round, versus the Seattle Seahawks, sparking talk he might lace up early, though he held, off through the postseason push. Now with the full off-season to rebuild, Warner set to hit the ground running near full strength by September, giving the Niners that defensive anchor. They crave right from the jump.
