Free-agent linebacker Reuben Foster (knee), who is hoping to kick-start his comeback after recovering from a major knee injury, has a workout scheduled with the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, according to a source. Foster hasn't played since 2018, but the former San Francisco 49er and Washington Commander linebacker has had several workouts. The 28-year-old former first-round pick of the Niners in 2017 out of Alabama has only played in two NFL seasons (2017 and 2018) and has racked up 101 tackles (84 solo), 10 tackles for loss and seven QB hits in 16 starts.
The Miami Dolphins are working out former Alabama All-American linebacker Reuben Foster on Friday, according to a source close to the team. Foster was the 31st overall pick in 2017 by the San Francisco 49ers. The 28-year-old missed 2019 and 2020 with a major knee injury, but he's healthy now and is attempting to make a comeback. Foster was in San Francisco with head coach Mike McDaniel in 2018. In his two seasons with the 49ers in 2017 and 2018, Foster had 101 tackles (84 solo), 10 tackles for loss, seven QB hits and two passes defensed in 16 starts.
Free-agent linebacker Reuben Foster is working out for the Cleveland Browns on Thursday. The 27-year-old was hosted by the New York Jets in early September, but the team did not sign him to a contract. He missed the last two seasons due to a torn ACL and LCL. Foster racked up 101 tackles (84 solos, 17 assists) and two pass defenses over 16 games for the 49ers from 2017-2018. The former first-round pick will look to sign a deal with the Browns if the workout goes well. Foster would provide the Browns' LB depth if he's able to land a contract. Stay tuned.
The Washington Redskins declined the fifth-year option on linebacker Reuben Foster, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Foster was the 31st overall pick in the first round of the 49ers in 2017. He had 72 tackles (59 solo), seven tackles for loss and five QB hits in 10 starts his rookie season, but he has since been suspended for two games and tore his ACL in 2018, holding him out for the entire 2019 season. The 26-year-old will be playing the 2020 season looking for his next contract on the open market when he becomes a free agent in 2021.
Reuben Foster Arrested On Domestic Violence Charges
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster was arrested late Saturday night on misdemeanor domestic violence charges. The incident occurred at the team hotel in Tampa, where the Niners will square off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12. The team announced he will be released on Monday. This concludes a rocky tenure for Foster with the 49ers and possibly ends his football career. The 24-year-old former first-rounder has endured his share of legal issues including a felony domestic violence accusation in February 2018. The previous charges were dropped. Fosters arrest has minimal fantasy impact but will shake up the 49ers defensive landscape for the remainder of the season.
The NFL has suspended San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster for two games without pay for violating the league's conduct and substances of abuse policies. Foster was involved in a weapons offense and a misdemeanor drug offense, which were both resolved earlier this year. He'll be eligible to return to the active roster Monday, Sept. 17, and play in Week 3 against the Chiefs. It's not a surprise Foster was suspended, but he's perhaps lucky he's only serving a two-game suspension after all the legal trouble he's been through. The 24-year-old had an impressive 72 tackles in 10 games in his rookie season in 2017.
Despite pleading no contest to a misdemeanor weapons charge Wednesday, the NFL is still mulling a multi-game suspension for San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster, according to sources. Foster escaped a potential domestic-violence charge as well after the case was dropped, but he could still find himself serving a suspension to begin 2018. The 31st overall pick in the 2017 draft, Foster posted an impressive 72 tackles in just 10 games in his first season. While a suspension would hurt his IDP value, Foster's talent is obvious.
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster's girlfriend is apparently initially lied to police about Foster injuring her during a February incident at his home, according to the girlfriend's attorney. The attorney, Stephanie Rickard, said that the girlfriend's injuries were suffered in a fight with another woman and there was video evidence of the fight. (Foster) did not strike her, injure her or threaten her, said Rickard. With this new information, it's unlikely that Foster will be charged at all, which is a huge break for both his career and the 49ers. The 24-year-old was promising in his rookie season, collecting 72 tackles in just 10 games. He has breakout potential in IDP leagues at a good value.
San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said that the team will release linebacker Reuben Foster if his charges turn out to be true. Foster is accused of three felonies in a domestic-violence incident with his live-in girlfriend. The talented rookie recorded 72 tackles, but he had zero sacks in his first NFL season. He has plenty of upside, but it may not be realized because of his off-field issues.
Reuben Foster Won't Take Part In Offseason Workouts
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster will not take part in team activities as his legal matters play out. "As previously stated, his future with the team will be determined by the information revealed during the legal process." Foster is facing three felonies and may soon be released by the 49ers after a dispute with his live-in girlfriend. At the very least, he'll be looking at a four-game suspension to start the 2018 season.
