Fred Warner's ankle injury, originally sustained in Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season, appears to be fully resolved — the linebacker is self-reporting no remaining limitations, a strong positive signal at this stage. This is a TRACKING update on a lower-extremity ankle injury that was classified at the time as probable Grade 1–2 severity (INFERRED from the absence of any extended absence or IR designation during the season).

Three-axis classification: LIG or SKN / Grade 1–2 (INFERRED — ankle sprain type and structural grade were never confirmed by imaging or official team report) / LE. Evidence Tier: T2 — Moderate Confidence for ankle sprains generally, though the specific ligamentous structure (ATFL, syndesmotic, or other) was never confirmed publicly.

At this point in the offseason — approximately six-plus months post-injury — any Grade 1 (1–2 week biological floor) or Grade 2 ATFL sprain (2–4 week floor) would be well within full biological healing range. Warner's self-reported symptom resolution is consistent with expected recovery. No conflict flag is warranted. Confidence note: grade remains INFERRED throughout; no imaging or clinical confirmation was ever reported publicly.
