Warner racked up 11 tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble against the Packers and now has 81 tackles, three sacks, four passes defensed, and three forced fumbles through 11 games this season.
"Fred got to play a ton and exceeded expectations, I think, with everyone his first year," head coach Kyle Shanahan said of Warner on Monday. "Then he was just even more hungry, came back like a 10-year vet, and came back better mentally, better physically, and I think it's shown to everyone in every game."
The 49ers made Warner a third-round draft pick out of BYU in 2018.
