Story summary

In October 2026, Fred Warner, the star linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers, was fined $65,673 by the NFL for two violations during a game against the Washington Commanders. The penalties included an unnecessary roughness hit on tight end Chig Okonkwo and a hip-drop tackle that went uncalled but still incurred a fine of $41,793 in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. Warner faces a potential one-game suspension if he receives discipline for two more incidents involving defenseless players, as he already has three violations this season. The fines come amid mounting injuries to key players like wide receivers Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel, leaving the team vulnerable despite their perfect 6-0 record after overcoming a near-collapse in a recent nail-biting victory against the Commanders.
