Should the San Francisco 49ers let star linebacker Fred Warner continue to play through a grueling injury?
On Wednesday, Warner revealed he’s been battling a fractured ankle throughout the season. He said he suffered the injury in a Week 4 win against the New England Patriots. Since then, he has been injected with painkillers before every game.
“It’s something I deal with before every game,” Warner said, via The Athletic’s David Lombardi. “I get on the table before every game and get shot up before every single game just to be able to roll. It’s not an excuse. That’s the NFL. You’re not gonna be healthy…It was a fracture when I sprained it. Anytime you fracture a bone, if you continue to play on it, the bone’s not going to be able to heal itself. So, you just got to be able to fight through it.”
