San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner has etched his name in the team record books, setting a new mark for career forced fumbles. His latest forced fumble against the Jacksonville Jaguars was the 17th of his career, the most by any 49ers player since forced fumbles became an official statistic in 1994.
Warner entered the game tied with Hall of Fame linebacker Patrick Willis for the team lead. Among current 49ers, defensive end Nick Bosa—who is out for the remainder of the season—ranks next with 12 career forced fumbles.
The forced fumble against the Jaguars was Warner's second of the 2025 season. The first came in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints—a performance that earned him NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors, the fourth time he has received the award in his career.
Warner entered Sunday's game with 30 tackles (two for a loss) and three passes defensed this season. Selected by San Francisco in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Warner is now in his eighth NFL season, continuing to cement his legacy as one of the franchise's all-time best defenders.
