Warner’s campaign ended early due to a serious right ankle injury suffered in Week 6 against the Buccaneers in Tampa, which required surgical repair and prompted long-shot hopes for a playoff return.
There was renewed optimism when San Francisco opened Warner’s 21-day practice window after their 23-19 Wild Card win over the Eagles, ahead of a Divisional Round meeting with Seattle.
The 49ers’ postseason run ended with a 41-6 loss to the Seahawks, leaving Warner to focus on recovery without the pressure of a 2025 playoff appearance.
Warner shared his sentiment during a recent appearance on the St. Brown Podcast with Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and former 49ers wideout Equanimeous St. Brown, saying, “I would have been out there in the NFC Championship putting the belt to the Rams, but that’s all for next year.”
