Fred Warner addressed speculation regarding the rib injury of 49ers running back Jordan James, clarifying that a viral clip of him attempting to punch the ball out was not the cause of the injury. Warner explained that the injury resulted from an unfortunate collision during practice when players were not wearing pads, not from his usual fumble-forcing technique. Acting head coach Chris Foerster described the incident as a “perfect storm,” complicating James’ attempt to secure a roster spot behind Christian McCaffrey. Despite the incident, Warner continues to play a pivotal role in the 49ers’ defense, maintaining his aggressive style.
