Fred Warner Injury History & Analysis

Niners LB Fred Warner is expected to play through his ankle sprain today against the Cardinals, according to multiple reports. There might still be some risk of limited playing time, but this early report indicates that he's better than a game-time decision. He appeared to be moving well in his Friday return to practice. I moved Warner back up the Week 5 LB rankings on this morning's news. He'll obviously carry some re-injury risk -- but also plenty of fantasy upside. Weigh both vs. your other IDP lineup options.

Niners HC Kyle Shanahan said Thursday that DE Nick Bosa's chances of playing Saturday are "looking good," according to ESPN's Nick Wagoner. Bosa is officially questionable with a concussion but finished the practice week with a full Thursday workout. We'll confirm his status Saturday.

The 49ers deemed LB Fred Warner (hamstring) doubtful for Sunday's game at Seattle. The only surprise there is that he has any chance of playing. Initial reports projected him to miss a week or 2 with the injury. Expect the Niners to be without their star LB, though. LB Dre Greenlaw (groin) has been ruled out. LB/S Marcell Harris (concussion) is questionable. The depleted LB corps helps the outlook for Seahawks TE Gerald Everett.
