Overview
- The 49ers placed All-Pro Fred Warner on injured reserve with a fractured and dislocated ankle, and he is expected to miss the rest of the season.
- San Francisco worked out five free-agent linebackers: Jalen Reeves-Maybin, Ben Niemann, Chandler Wooten, Stone Blanton, and Kam Arnold.
- No contracts followed the workouts, with rookie Nick Martin set for his NFL debut against the Falcons and Tatum Bethune stepping into Warner’s role.
- Reeves-Maybin, the NFLPA president who was released by the Lions in March, received a tryout but was not signed.
- With few career starts across the current unit, Niemann stands out as the most experienced option among the tryout group should the team add help.
