Third-straight All-Pro before Week 6 ankle injury; elite coverage metrics signal comeback.
Fred WarnerLBSF
Warner remains one of the game's top off-ball linebackers, but a devastating ankle injury in Week 6 sidelined him for the final three months of the season, causing his peers to leave him off their ballots and resulting in a fall from the perennial top-20 into the 50s. He was coming off a third-straight All-Pro campaign and was allowing the lowest completion percentage over expected (-18.9%) among linebackers at the time of his 2025 injury. The 49ers defense allowed 7.9 yards per attempt on play-action passes when Warner was off the field in 2025 (105 passes), compared to just 5.5 yards per attempt when he was on the field (40 passes), demonstrating his elite impact and setting up for a major comeback.
