49ers LB Fred Warner Hit with Massive Fines From Commanders Game
The league cited two unnecessary roughness violations, including a helmet hit that drew the larger $47,762 penalty.
- On Saturday, the NFL fined San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner $65,673 for two unnecessary roughness violations during the team's October 19 victory over the Washington Commanders.
- These penalties—$47,762 for illegal helmet use and $17,911 for a hit on a defenseless player—bring Warner's total 2026 season fines to $107,466 across four violations.
- NFL insider Tom Pelissero reported that officials picked up the flag on the defenseless player hit, though the league still imposed a fine. The NFL handed out five fines of at least $17,000 for Week 6 incidents.
- Under updated NFL accountability rules, accumulating three qualifying violations in categories such as illegal helmet use or hits on defenseless players triggers a one-game suspension. Warner already has one violation in each category.
- The 49ers look to improve to 7-0 in their Sunday, October 25 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, navigating ongoing scrutiny surrounding their defensive leader's tackling style.
