Fred Warner Injures Right Ankle, Likely To Return With Ankle Taped

Fred Warner, the 49ers Pro Bowl middle linebacker, injured his right ankle just before halftime against the Bengals, but has a chance to return. By video, Warner was trailing the play when he stepped on a player's foot and appeared to suffer a right inversion ankle sprain. He has a solid chance to return next defensive series after getting his ankle taped.

The 25-year-old leads the team with 92 combined tackles this season. If Warner can't continue, Marcell Harris would likely step in as middle linebacker.
