Fred Warner

49ers LB Fred Warner (ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday’s walk-through practice.

Warner has been dealing with an ankle injury he suffered in Week 4. With just one limited practice last week, he still played in Week 5. Now beginning the week listed as limited in Monday’s practice estimation and Tuesday’s walk-through, Warner looks like he will play Week 6. Among the rest of the 49ers defense, DT Jordan Elliott (knee) and LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (calf) did not practice while S Ji’Ayir Brown (ankle) and CB Charvarius Ward (knee) were limited. Talanoa Hufanga (wrist) is going to miss at least a few weeks, so Warner’s role in the middle of the defense will be greater Thursday against the Seahawks.
