49ers' Fred Warner Hit With Hefty NFL Punishment After Week 3 Win
49ers star Fred Warner receives multiple fines from the NFL for illegal tackles in the Week 3 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner faced a substantial NFL punishment following the team's Week 3 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Warner logged a career-high 17 tackles in the 36-30 triumph, but some of those hits led to significant penalties from the NFL. On Saturday, Warner was hit with a $23,882 fine for an unnecessary roughness penalty following helmet-to-helmet contact with Cardinals tight end Trey McBride.
Additionally, Warner received another fine for a hip-drop tackle on McBride that was not initially called during the game. In total, Warner was fined $41,793 for the two incidents. While the hefty fines undoubtedly disappointed Warner, considering his career earnings and current contract, the 49ers' strong season performance should help alleviate the impact of the fines.
Warner and his teammates will now focus on an upcoming Week 4 matchup against the Denver Broncos, aiming to build on their impressive season so far.
