It was a scary scene for the San Francisco 49ers when Fred Warner curled up in pain on the ground during Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys and had to be helped off the field.

The fourth-year star linebacker aimed to ease the minds of faithful fans on Monday when he said via social media that he would be "good to go" for next weekend's divisional matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

Sorry for the scare yesterday everyone, I appreciate everyone showing love and support for me and the fellas. We’ll be good to go. Huge win, onto the next.

Warner aggravated an ankle injury during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game but remained on the sidelines in an attempt to go back in to play the final drive.

Warner's claim he is "good to go" isn't an official medical diagnosis, however, and he will still likely have an MRI when the team returns to the Bay Area.

#49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said DE Nick Bosa will go in concussion protocol this week. LB Fred Warner will have further imaging done on his ankle when team returns to the Bay. Shanahan said injury for Warner similar to one earlier in the season for him.

Whatever the prognosis may be, at least Warner is in good spirits after sustaining the injury.

The 25-year-old BYU product logged a career-best 137 combined tackles this season for the Niners and racked up another five on Sunday against the Cowboys, which San Francisco defeated in crazy fashion 23-17.

The 49ers face the Packers in Green Bay next Saturday.
